    So canvas is illegal and so are other materials but cardboard shelter is legal? Who made that idiotic law?

      I'll take a try at why canvas is illegal and cardboard is legal. (so far cardboard is legal) Brussels and places around Brussels has so many hikers, and people who go camping, they have to limit the people who would just walk thru Brussels by camping out on the streets.

    • @TheShowgunofHarlem
      @TheShowgunofHarlem 3 роки тому +3

      Agreed. Very idiot. BUT I'm guessing part of the reason has to do with people abandoning their canvas tent once they rip, and it becomes a trash issue, whereas the cardboard can be recycled.

    I think it is great what he is doing. If I had the money or had someone help with donations I would build one out of the 2 inch pink insulation board. Its light weight, water proof and would be warm and prob could heat with a few candles or maybe even a small homemade stove made out of a coffee can or something. It saddens me to see people homeless because we are all one paycheck away from being right there where they are. Thank you and God bless you for what you do. 💞

      The key is "we are only a pay check away." The excuse is "if only." When you want to do something, do it. Even if it's not on a large scale it is a start. Waitings for that big budget help is the same as starting now by building one shelter at a time. All you need to sacrifice is ten dollars a day, basically your lunch. Anyway just an idea for "if" you truly want to do it.

    Previously land was free. Whoever wanted to build a house anywhere, they would build it. But now you have to buy a land to build a home. If some land is just free and homes could be built at that place, then anybody should be allowed to build a home at that place. There are poor people's who live in footpaths beside a road and many who cannot pay rent as work has been shut down due to covid19 . They could simply build a mud house and stay in it. It would be cheap to build. Afterwards when at that place something has to be built, then they should leave that place and make homes in other places where homes can be built and that place is just not used at that time.

    I would like to start something like this but would need the plans on the shelter. Also, I need to make sure it can withstand -50 Celsius weather. There are thousands upon thousands of fellow humans living here in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada who have been purposely cut off their living allowance, thus creating this homeless issue. Winnipeg has no plan to combat this but rather sets up more for the business of poverty. HELP!

    And it costs the taxpayer £114 million a year to move the fat cats in the EU from Brussels to Strasbourg even few weeks - yet no money to help the homeless. It's a cruel world.

    The new NATO headquarters building in Brussels cost around €1.1 billion (approx. USD1,200,000,000). A fraction of that would have gone a long way towards building homes for the homeless in Belgium.

      Its a big problem in the US. In Europe its harder to become homeless because of the good social welfare system but it still happens. A lot of European countries are not as wealthy as say Belgium, France or Germany and their people migrate looking for work and end up sleeping rough.

    I'm curious, where do the 35$ go ?
    I read it's illegal to have canvas tents in Brussels, and camping is illegal, so I'm not going to give the 'you can buy an actual, water resistant tent for that money'. Also, I can see there is plastic foil applied to some of the edges, but 35$ still seems steep...no ?
