    Affordable housing for the majority of Americans is a myth. I know so many people that are spending at least 50% of their take home pay on housing & utilities. It's absolutely crushing if your a single person. Everything new being built is 2000 SQ ft & up or luxury apartments. I can't see how this is sustainable.
    Please keep doing segments on the homeless & unaffordable housing situation in America, it's a ticking time bomb.

    • @nonya.bizness

      that's what i came here to say. zoning is ridiculous in almost every single juristiction where someone could build houses. i'm sure this project had to go through a ton of red tape and get a bunch of special exceptions, and that probably was only possible by calling it a homeless facility.
      minimum square footage to build ~anywhere~ needs to be abolished. why would anyone be forced to build a larger house than they need? and how is that the government’s concern or prerogative?
      a huge percentage of retired americans, young low-wage working americans, and a huge number of younger folks who have eschewed the rat race as a life formula for happiness would all love to own and live in tiny homes, whether in a community like this or just a neighborhood like this without the shared bathrooms and such.
      i think it would catch on like wildfire and create a LOT of happier, more secure folks. and i also think that's why it won't happen. capitalism demands that people are hungry, either for food or work or status.
      if a large number of people became satisfied with, say, working part-time because they didn't need to pay 50% of a full-time wage to housing, the system might either fall apart or be forced to change, and the ones making a killing off the status quo will do (are doing) whatever it takes to maintain it.

    Those tiny homes are regular homes in many places around the world. Family homes, by the way. Maybe part of the problem is building so many huge homes, making them automatically unaffordable for too many people, and a burden for the ones who can afford them?

    As a former homeless person, more does need to be done. Homeless people are looked down on like they are unworthy. But what if this was someone's family member or friend, and what if it was the individual thinking it can't happen to you.. well guess what it can and usually does. Some people might not see them as human beings but I do. If you are homeless, don't give up. Don't let the negativity of others keep you down. You deserve a home like anyone else does. Someone out here believes in you.

    This addresses a very big issue that many people need and sometimes don't realize they need support to survive. That extra push just to get up each day and be a part of something and it's all in the community they live. It won't be for everyone, but for more than many of us can imagine.

    Tiny homes are objectively a waste of land. Literally a 4-8 story condominium is a much better option that helps people not only have a place to live, but one that they can finally build equity. I get it - we think of simple living, Walden/Thoreau, etc etc. But look at South Korea and Japan. They have cities that are well built, efficient, safe. And most importantly, they have highly preserved countryside areas. America is losing its countryside because we all have the obsession with suburbanization. The answer is a coalition of urbanites and farmers to build up cities while preserving the countryside. We need to ditch suburbia which encourages sprawl and waste
