Isn't this also the guy who the police took the home from him as well? There was a homeless guy who built his own little home somewhere and the police took it because it wasn't official and they couldn't make him pay for it.

It’s interesting how people think architectural degrees aren’t worth it because they know people who aren’t successful after finishing the education. I assure you, most architects that get into the top programs and graduate do well afterwards. Just because it’s not like getting a medical degree/license which has a much higher success rate doesn’t mean it’s not worthwhile.
Y’all are so goofy! Every homeless person doesn’t have or have ever had a drug/alcohol problem. Like myself.

So instead of being glad he’s not being a burden to tax dollars and instead making the best of a bad situation, y’all decide to say something real ignorant and unfounded.

@@Emiliapocalypse It’s also very possible that he doesn’t want to work on a regular basis. Just because he made a cardboard house doesn’t mean he did so at a normal pace. He might’ve just done it whenever he felt bored.
Honestly the only way I don't see him being a very valuable worker is if he just would rather live the precarious life of a hobo nomad wonderer (which, tbh fair enough I guess) or there's some mental unwellness getting in the way of his ability. If the former is true, someone should still see if he'd be down to help volunteer from time to time to help house some of the other houseless folks. If the latter is true, then that'd just be all the more proof we desperately need better mental healthcare to help struggling people rather than this socially darwinistic bullshit of basically leaving them to the streets then bitching and dehumanizing them when surprise surprise we see a tent city crop up
Just wait till the irs considers this actual property and taxes him. That fort will get torn down oh wait nvm politicians don’t care about the homeless people living on the streets they never drive or walk through

I can see them trying to tear it down because it's an 'eye sore'. Well if the Government tried harder to help its people, we wouldn't have homeless people building 'eye sores' on the side of the street as a means to keep out of direct sun and harsh weather. But that's not what the gov wants to hear, they want to hear that you're shoveling more money in their pocket so the rich can make excuses as to why they haven't paid their taxes.
@@cleanerben9636the government helping isn't the cause, the increasing greed of rich homeowners is the cause. When what you charge for rent in all your homes is $3000 for a 1 br you either have to live in that house with all your family members or live on the streets. The fact is welfare has existed since the 60's why is it only now that we're seeing this housing crisis? The government doesn't control the prices of rent for all places. In rent controlled places there are laws in place saying how much homeowners can charge for rent.

Myself being born and raised in England, we have a very rose tinted view of America, with all the films we see or I have seen bar one that actually showed tent city and people struggling through losing their jobs, their homes and of course people struggling with addiction. I do not believe people want to be living like this?? We all need a helping hand from time to time when we find ourselves between a rock and a hard place. I am fortunate never to have been homeless and out of work and in the same breath this could be either of us next week! So to show compassion and express sadness is not a crime or a platform for others to be asking questions as to why I genuinely feel sad for this man and others that find themselves in the same situation, I hope it shows that I am human! Wishing you a good day. 👍🏾👋🏾🙏🏾
Some of these homeless i see are mad resourceful. One meshed together multiple tents to make it spacious enough for him and his wife and set up near a electrical unit underneath a freeway overpass so he can use a little room heater and charge his home. Now thats making the best of a bad situation
There was effort put in to this. Either the guy who built it actually enjoys being homeless or he just needs a helping hand to get him back on his feet.
Him being the best version of his situation.

That's talent. Imagine what this man would do if you gave him a good job and high quality materials.

Honestly the only way I don't see him being a very valuable worker is if he just would rather live the precarious life of a hobo nomad wonderer (which, tbh fair enough I guess) or there's some mental unwellness getting in the way of his ability.
If the former is true, someone should still see if he'd be down to help volunteer from time to time to help house some of the other houseless folks. If the latter is true, then that'd just be all the more proof we desperately need better mental healthcare to help struggling people rather than this socially darwinistic bullshit of basically leaving them to the streets then bitching and dehumanizing them when surprise surprise we see a tent city crop up

Government's probably going to kick him out, they hate it when people don't give them money
I can see them trying to tear it down because it's an 'eye sore'. Well if the Government tried harder to help its people, we wouldn't have homeless people building 'eye sores' on the side of the street as a means to keep out of direct sun and harsh weather.
But that's not what the gov wants to hear, they want to hear that you're shoveling more money in their pocket so the rich can make excuses as to why they haven't paid their taxes.
@@agentmaryland1239 the government "helping" is the cause of a lot of these issues.
@@cleanerben9636the government helping isn't the cause, the increasing greed of rich homeowners is the cause. When what you charge for rent in all your homes is $3000 for a 1 br you either have to live in that house with all your family members or live on the streets. The fact is welfare has existed since the 60's why is it only now that we're seeing this housing crisis? The government doesn't control the prices of rent for all places. In rent controlled places there are laws in place saying how much homeowners can charge for rent.

@@mymixedbiscuit9159 I'm ashamed to say but I'm pretty much in the same exact situation rn, except I built my shack in a no mans land in the woods. I built with insulation board, but water still leaks through, so a rain catcher doubles as a protector and a source of clean water in shitty weather. I saw a video where some guy had a huge oil drum on his roof and used gravity as an accelerate to power his hydroelectric plant, but it seems expensive compared to solar panels.

Why is it so sad? There's plenty of housing in this country now. Most cities have hotel rooms that they offer now.

@@Iamsentinel28 Good afternoon, so you know this man personally and of his problems personal?? Myself being born and raised in England, we have a very rose tinted view of America, with all the films we see or I have seen bar one that actually showed tent city and people struggling through losing their jobs, their homes and of course people struggling with addiction. I do not believe people want to be living like this?? We all need a helping hand from time to time when we find ourselves between a rock and a hard place. I am fortunate never to have been homeless and out of work and in the same breath this could be either of us next week! So to show compassion and express sadness is not a crime or a platform for others to be asking questions as to why I genuinely feel sad for this man and others that find themselves in the same situation, I hope it shows that I am human! Wishing you a good day. 👍🏾👋🏾🙏🏾
What's sad about it is they might charge him tax, for using the sidewalk. 😮🎉🎉

Some of these homeless i see are mad resourceful. One meshed together multiple tents to make it spacious enough for him and his wife and set up near a electrical unit underneath a freeway overpass so he can use a little room heater and charge his home. Now thats making the best of a bad situation
