It's because there is a whole system of bs jobs managing the homeless because our capitalist conservative culture doesn't want to guarantee free housing for all
If the 65 tiny homes took $5,5 Million, that's over $80K each. Home Depot sells kits for $16K,that look a lot more luxurious. Then there are 20 foot containers, which could be fitted out.
I know where we could put housing for the homeless GOLF COURSES! just what we need plenty of good land in nice neighborhoods that's currently being devoted to a mindless meaningless activity engaged in by primarily white well-to-do businessman males who use the game to get together to make deals to carve this country up a little bit finer amongst themselves..

I built a tool shed about that size and it only cost me around $800, Adding a couple windows, an A/C ,light fixtures, insulation, a bed and electrical equipment, I don't see a home that size costing more than $3000 to $4000.
I think a lot of the money is in the counseling salaries, food, etc. Many years ago there were mental institutions but they all got closed down. These people definitely need more than just physical care. Many people and families are being priced out of a normal lifestyle. My husband, when he was 27, got $2.25 an hour (which was minimum wage at the time) as a gardener at a church. But his share of the rent was $62. So in 27 hours of work (our of 160 hours a month), he was able to have an apartment. (His roommate also paid $62.) Now the rents are so high, it is hard for some people to live. We are blessed now to own our home 100% in our middle 70s.
I think they contain electricity and other utilities perhaps? Also, I think they are incorporating the bathroom facilities and showers…?? Also, these homes look like they are made from shipping containers, which are actually not so cheap after all. But I saw another comment about Home Depot having a kit for less. I don’t know.
Well, it will apart and taken over by gangs & criminals to sell more drugs & create more "homeless". So our government can give more money to their buddies at the "non-profit" organizations, the homeless-industrial complex, to "fix/create" the problem. 🤪

*DO YOU REMEMBER THE "TEMPORARY CLASSROOMS" OF THE LATE 60's AND EARLY 70's ?* These classrooms held 30+ students and desks, plus a teacher and desk, etc. Everything that a traditional classroom had, including a door, HVAC systems, windows, and overhead lighting. They could easily accommodate approximately 15 beds and chairs. A great ADDITIONAL SOLUTION to house many more people. *IF I WERE SLEEPING IN A TENT COMMUNITY, I WOULD WELCOME A SAFE, CLEAN, DRY, AND WARM SETTING AS DESCRIBED ABOVE.* . *IF THEY WERE GOOD ENOUGH FOR PUBLIC SCHOOL STUDENTS, THEY ARE GOOD ENOUGH FOR THE HOMELESS AS AN ADDITIONAL SOLUTION.*
@@kenW13 well you better get to work then. You think you can just lay inside a tiny home for free? You’re a big boy, you have arms and legs. If you don’t work, illegals will do it for you
after being homeless someone needs to recover and relearn managing their space, it's a start to a new life, there's alot of moving parts, budget, cleaning, food, neighbours. Best of luck to the residents, wishing you all a better future
That’s a game changer for those who truly need a fresh start and want to utilize the chance to create a better lifestyle. Two years of hard work and they’ll be able to provide for themselves. A place to rest eat and shower is essential. Finding a job and educating ones self is the next step. Save and conserve and have patience while focusing on the big picture. God bless.
Great idea in many ways. Here are the issues of cost. Places will have to have security, and bug management, and utilities, and people to check housekeeping, and maintenance employees to clear trash, debris etc. Some rules have to apply. In the end, you end up with crazy costs, for what seems to be a great solution for the homeless.
@@inthesunbythebeach Not usually a great success. Once you have a address you can get Medical for free. I worked for Hud for 33 years and have to pay 150 for an emergency room visit. They will pay nothing. Where can they get a job with those type of benefits with mental issues? No where for most of them. Plus it enables them as well Seems like a great idea on the surface. Housing budget now is 5 Billion a year and climbing.
For people who have been living on the street, in tents or without even a tent, where they are told to move constantly, have no bathroom access, etc. this is a step up that helps them and helps the people who do not want tents in front of their businesses or their city streets. It's bare minimum. A tent-like space with a single bed, looks like they do have ventilation, an on site bathrooms and showers and food. And social services for each person in the small home village. The conversation between the newscasters is surprisingly real and reasonable.
❤I love this. Sanitary and safety in place. This is wonderful for the community. Homelessness breeds mental health issues which becomes a threat to the community. Thank you Chula Vista😊
@@NoName-dn8nv so you don't think conditions will be placed upon the residents allowed to live in these little houses so it will be allowed to become basically a homeless drug den no different than tents on the sidewalk ??? Surly your not THAT stupid.
What costs so much money is "infrastructure" even for tiny homes, it's not the structure/shelter itself. It's the... ...sewer ...plumbing ...safe electrical wiring ...heating Lastly is the structure itself. Then you have maintenance, security, services.
I read an article that said it was cheaper for the government to do this than to have homeless people constantly getting arrested and going to the emergency room for $1500.00 a visit. Hopefully they stabilize and get on their feet and get a job and apartment
Right? It's a start and in an area they are allowed to be, with bathrooms and showers which are a big issue for the unhoused. So fingers crossed it is successful enough to expand.
The tiny home facility like the one in Riverside is a great idea, but it's a temporary solution for these folks. Its set up to help this individuals get back into being productive members in the community and get back into permanent housing but it's not going to work because some of these individuals aren't going to be able to PAY an outstanding MONTHLY RENT, so they will be back in streets. other solutions are needed.
1. Education and the economy are broken. People are intentionally forced to learn trivia instead of how to be healthy and stable and resilient. The economy is designed to extract value from the losers rather than to facilitate organic, distributed creation and exchange. 2. Some people who end up homeless may never be "productive" -- but even so, who will pay to develop creative ways for people to become more productive? I agree this isn't a complete solution, but there are structural problems where we don't support people's development (some who may become homeless), and the government will spend to send people to space but how much to explore how to develop dignity and productivity in people? Create a problem...and then offer a partial, overpriced solution...and we're supposed to applaud.
This on-scene reporter was very unprofessional getting all upset and calling the male anchor "dad". He needs some coaching on basic professionalism. He tried to play it off, probably because his producer whispered in his ear to try and make a joke about it, but he was unprofessional and WAAAAAAY overly sensitive to an off-the-cuff professional colleague.
I was homeless for about a year in San Diego just over 30 years ago. I stayed in my car then stayed at St. Vincent De Paul. I would have been stoked! St. Paul was sketchy but better than living in my car. I received much needed medical care and later they helped me obtain an apartment. Just hope they don't grow too comfortable and that this doesn't create an unsafe environment.
Yeay! Tiny homes! You’re going to have to keep the homeless from hoarding and ruining it. I was homeless, and I camped FAAAR away from other homeless because they collected garbage and pooped all around. I was in stealth mode and I am wicked clean! I got housed through HUD/ VA s.ustainable H.ousing through the VA in Providence RI.
Thats pretty fucked up someone who dont pay rent can have a roomate with 50 sqft, but me trying to pay rent cant have my family of 4 in a 1 bedroom 650sqft
I am all for it if there's proper screening process, and proof of homeless people either going through a recovery mental health program, addiction recovery program, or attempting to get a job. Rules needs to be applied, mainly, I agree with other comments...American citizens first.
I like that they are helping the ***homeless*** category of people who are truly trying to do better and are clean. There are many drug addicted people out there committing crimes to serve their daily drug habit and they are considered a different category of homeless - I wouldn't feel comfortable knowing these homes were going to them because most of them(the drug intakers) do not want to change and they would turn this into an upside drug facility. Send the homeless category of people who are drug addicts to facilities where they can be helped, and send the mentally ill homeless people to institutions where they can be helped. The 3 categories of homeless people should not be lumped into one category AND ALL OF THEM need to be off the streets.
Someone made a butt load of money on this project which is typical. It is kind of funny you see these stories but I have looked and never see a story on how successful these projects that cost millions of dollars actually are. It would be nice to see a journalist do a deep dive investigation on these projects.
This won't go well. Each tiny home should have a honey do list certain days to do laundry police the area of trash, everyday clean inside. Good rules make good habits , no rules make bad habits
Yeah, thanks for another reason to not work. Let's get some big-screen TVs and popcorn while we are at it. This will be worthless in 6 months. On fire, trashed, and drug houses. Free never works.
@@libramoon9968 I was being facetious, but knowing how government works and how every last vendor involved will charge 10 times what they would charge a regular customer...a pre-fab shed kit that would cost $1000 at Home Depot or Lowe's will cost the taxpayer 10 x that. Toss in the electrical service panel, air conditioner, IKEA Beds, shelf table, bedding, lighting, windows, etc. and labor costs, I wouldn't be surprised of each shed comes in at about $40K each. Times 56 tiny homes, was it? 2.2 Million. That doesn't even account for the shower, toilets, laundry, and on-site counseling services. Tack on another $100K for those and the salaries of, say, 5 counselors on-site. Conservative estimates say 2.7 million over a year. Divided by 56 residents comes to around $48,200 each. Well...I guess that's cheaper than a suite at a 5-Star downtown hotel. Those, by the way, are being reserved for the Illegals. The stupid Americans get to stay in the cramped toolsheds. AMERICA LAST!!
REI in the city of Austin gives tents, backpacks, boots, sleeping bags, food,etc. - much nicer than I can afford! They have converted an old post office into a place where people can receive mail, so they’re not indigent- and register for an ID, and receive a paycheck when they get a job. They have showers, a communal area with a tv, and pol tables. There’s a big industrial kitchen, and we used to cook Thanksgiving dinner for people. There are still a high rate of homeless in Austin sleeping by the river. They come there because it’s on I-35, and they travel up and down it from winter to summer. It’s not perfect, but it’s a solution.
She is right. Look at the nightmare videos from other cities showing their result on the tiny home concept because they didn’t have a support system set up. Too bad we can’t do what Norway did. Unfortunately that would leave the representation of those getting rich from homeless programs powerless.
I'm glad for the little discussion at then end of the video. There are a lot of realities this solution does not address. It is a "next step" for some.
@@max420thc do you rather it happen in your front yard or on the streets. Wow at least Americans are being help as well as the communities. They are not criminals. They are people who possible fell on hard luck. It could be you or your children have a heart. At least they are not laying on the side walk or parks where children play. ❗
How is this more cost effective than a shelter? Are there any rules? Will there be drug and rehabilitation programs? Is there a work requirement? 80K for a tiny shed? Taxpayers are getting fleeced again!
A shelter does not have privacy and people are not allowed dignity due to rules. Shelters often kick everyone out in the morning (to clean) and dont allow people to return until evening. Families cannot stay in shelters and people are not allowed pets. Pets are often the only family homeless people have and it is not right to take their only family away. The company behind the Pallet homes requires each development be overlooked by local homeless support groups. Not sure where the price came from and I think each development has different requirements.
Once again, rewarding people who do nothing for themselves. Reminds me of 50 years ago, when local/federal government's built Projects in cities, with taxpayer money. That worked out well, didn't it? You can't give someone success, because in order to achieve success, it takes work and commitment. Most of these people will continue to use their drugs/alcohol and will never move into these tiny homes. BTW, the city could have bought completed 8x16 tiny homes from ITH (Incredible Tiny Homes), in TN, for 20k a pop (probably even less than that, if they were built without kitchen sinks and bathrooms), but because it's the government, they'll always overpay, since it's taxpayer money they're spending, and not their own. The only way to solve this, is to build jail's, enforce the law, and not make it a matter of choice, for people who have proven that they will continuously make bad choices, but that's too obvious. This is just another exercise in futility, a waste of money, and will not solve the problem.
Thats good help the poor and homeless people. Just like me help with finding a affordable living place that also can have a family together. Thanks all
The City of Oakland did this for their homeless in East Oakland. And sure enough... within a few short weeks they *"turned it into the place they came from"* - a FILTHY, DANGEROUS street. Now, on top of that, with most of these homeless having some sort of mental issues, WHY might there be a MOTHER and a CHILD in one of these units DO they ever THINK?
They will need more storage space. I am currently living in a thing like that. A place to put clothes A place for food. BUT. Something is better than nothing!
Not sure how this will help but, I can imagine mentally ill homeless people will destroy them and hoarders will have a heyday with these homes. I really hope that this is a viable solution that works.
Why do these sheds cost $80K each? Let’s see their expense reports. Someone got overpaid.
A 50 room hotel or apt building in that area would cost 5 ish million, easy.
Plumbing and electrics, insulation, concrete pad, community facilities...the buildings are not just little sheds.
75 percent of the cost goes to the democrat administrators , I’m not even joking.

They could easily accommodate approximately 15 beds and chairs. A great ADDITIONAL SOLUTION to house many more people. *IF I WERE SLEEPING IN A TENT COMMUNITY, I WOULD WELCOME A SAFE, CLEAN, DRY, AND WARM SETTING AS DESCRIBED ABOVE.*
. *IF THEY WERE GOOD ENOUGH FOR PUBLIC SCHOOL STUDENTS, THEY ARE GOOD ENOUGH FOR THE HOMELESS AS AN ADDITIONAL SOLUTION.*
Cost of $80,000 per home. This is outrageous.
Theyll be booted out for illegal immigrants.
So sad. I hope not but it is super likely.
@@kenW13 well you better get to work then. You think you can just lay inside a tiny home for free? You’re a big boy, you have arms and legs. If you don’t work, illegals will do it for you
Probable
For sure
after being homeless someone needs to recover and relearn managing their space, it's a start to a new life, there's alot of moving parts, budget, cleaning, food, neighbours. Best of luck to the residents, wishing you all a better future
Excellent comment! I was thinking about those things too! Hopefully adequate resources will be provided to address all the "moving parts"
5 million for 65 homeless? Thats $76,000 per person! Buy them a damn house!
Same problems, just out of sight and out of mind. I do have great respect for the few who are willing to try and help.
IS THIS AN SNL SKIT?
That’s a game changer for those who truly need a fresh start and want to utilize the chance to create a better lifestyle. Two years of hard work and they’ll be able to provide for themselves. A place to rest eat and shower is essential. Finding a job and educating ones self is the next step. Save and conserve and have patience while focusing on the big picture. God bless.
Great idea in many ways. Here are the issues of cost. Places will have to have security, and bug management, and utilities, and people to check housekeeping, and maintenance employees to clear trash, debris etc. Some rules have to apply. In the end, you end up with crazy costs, for what seems to be a great solution for the homeless.
If it help people get back on their feet and perhaps get a job and they pay taxes, it is worth it.
@@inthesunbythebeach Not usually a great success. Once you have a address you can get Medical for free. I worked for Hud for 33 years and have to pay 150 for an emergency room visit. They will pay nothing. Where can they get a job with those type of benefits with mental issues? No where for most of them. Plus it enables them as well
Seems like a great idea on the surface. Housing budget now is 5 Billion a year and climbing.
For people who have been living on the street, in tents or without even a tent, where they are told to move constantly, have no bathroom access, etc. this is a step up that helps them and helps the people who do not want tents in front of their businesses or their city streets. It's bare minimum. A tent-like space with a single bed, looks like they do have ventilation, an on site bathrooms and showers and food. And social services for each person in the small home village. The conversation between the newscasters is surprisingly real and reasonable.
The fact that another person has access to the Room mate's belongings invites theft. Future trouble awaits.
Can we talk about how awkward, uncomfortable and nervous these reports are. This was weird!
❤I love this. Sanitary and safety in place. This is wonderful for the community. Homelessness breeds mental health issues which becomes a threat to the community. Thank you Chula Vista😊
they sure want to help for only $85,000/ tiny home - I could build ten tiny homes better than that for less cost
The homeless and illegals should be knocking on every leftards door
Yeah it could be done cheaper. I think it's the labor.
For illegals?
Keep going guys. Too many used to fight these but homelessness is a pandemic now and they need to be solved like this
a government allowed aka caused pandemic (Hegelian Dialectic) you must understand this to see through their issues
you'll be surprised 6 months from now when everything has been burned down..
Homelessness is ancient. And it's not always the homeless who cause their own homelessness, also it affects everyone differently.
The poor blonde. She’s so despondent lol: can relate. The issue is insane.
Those 2 anchors must not like each other lol
And how are you going to prevent it from becoming a Drug Den
Drugs are included, duh
@@NoName-dn8nv so you don't think conditions will be placed upon the residents allowed to live in these little houses so it will be allowed to become basically a homeless drug den no different than tents on the sidewalk ??? Surly your not THAT stupid.
Those should be STRICTLY for VETERANS!! 😐😐🇺🇸
Im retired 20 year vet only if clean and sober.
@@thomasgentry6201 intoxicated veteran takes preference over sober non veteran.
@@samuelg3586 question woman and children
@@thomasgentry6201 woman and children have plenty of resources in comparison
It’s Chula Vista. They will cater to their narrative.
What costs so much money is "infrastructure" even for tiny homes, it's not the structure/shelter itself.
It's the...
...sewer
...plumbing
...safe electrical wiring
...heating
Lastly is the structure itself.
Then you have maintenance, security, services.
This will be very interesting to observe, I would also be observing the local pawnshops and junk yards.
Why?
I read an article that said it was cheaper for the government to do this than to have homeless people constantly getting arrested and going to the emergency room for $1500.00 a visit. Hopefully they stabilize and get on their feet and get a job and apartment
That tiny homes looks better than tents…
Right? It's a start and in an area they are allowed to be, with bathrooms and showers which are a big issue for the unhoused. So fingers crossed it is successful enough to expand.
The tiny home facility like the one in Riverside is a great idea, but it's a temporary solution for these folks. Its set up to help this individuals get back into being productive members in the community and get back into permanent housing but it's not going to work because some of these individuals aren't going to be able to PAY an outstanding MONTHLY RENT, so they will be back in streets. other solutions are needed.
Yeah, maybe we can give them free food, health care, job training, part time jobs, mental health assistance, and also wipe their ass if requested.
1. Education and the economy are broken. People are intentionally forced to learn trivia instead of how to be healthy and stable and resilient. The economy is designed to extract value from the losers rather than to facilitate organic, distributed creation and exchange.
2. Some people who end up homeless may never be "productive" -- but even so, who will pay to develop creative ways for people to become more productive?
I agree this isn't a complete solution, but there are structural problems where we don't support people's development (some who may become homeless), and the government will spend to send people to space but how much to explore how to develop dignity and productivity in people?
Create a problem...and then offer a partial, overpriced solution...and we're supposed to applaud.
I’d gladly help pay for this if it’ll take them off the streets
This on-scene reporter was very unprofessional getting all upset and calling the male anchor "dad". He needs some coaching on basic professionalism.
He tried to play it off, probably because his producer whispered in his ear to try and make a joke about it, but he was unprofessional and WAAAAAAY overly sensitive to an off-the-cuff professional colleague.
I was homeless for about a year in San Diego just over 30 years ago. I stayed in my car then stayed at St. Vincent De Paul. I would have been stoked! St. Paul was sketchy but better than living in my car. I received much needed medical care and later they helped me obtain an apartment. Just hope they don't grow too comfortable and that this doesn't create an unsafe environment.
Yeay! Tiny homes! You’re going to have to keep the homeless from hoarding and ruining it. I was homeless, and I camped FAAAR away from other homeless because they collected garbage and pooped all around. I was in stealth mode and I am wicked clean! I got housed through HUD/ VA s.ustainable H.ousing through the VA in Providence RI.
That place is going to get tore up, won't last long at all unfortunately.
"KEEP ON KEEPIN ON"
Thats pretty fucked up someone who dont pay rent can have a roomate with 50 sqft, but me trying to pay rent cant have my family of 4 in a 1 bedroom 650sqft
I am all for it if there's proper screening process, and proof of homeless people either going through a recovery mental health program, addiction recovery program, or attempting to get a job. Rules needs to be applied, mainly, I agree with other comments...American citizens first.
God bless whoever created this project.
$80,000 taxpayer dollar per cardboard shed
I like that they are helping the ***homeless*** category of people who are truly trying to do better and are clean. There are many drug addicted people out there committing crimes to serve their daily drug habit and they are considered a different category of homeless - I wouldn't feel comfortable knowing these homes were going to them because most of them(the drug intakers) do not want to change and they would turn this into an upside drug facility. Send the homeless category of people who are drug addicts to facilities where they can be helped, and send the mentally ill homeless people to institutions where they can be helped. The 3 categories of homeless people should not be lumped into one category AND ALL OF THEM need to be off the streets.
Interesting story, however, find a competent reporter to discuss this, JEEZ
They should only cost around $8000.00 a piece honestly for all that's included.
Actually even less considering the furniture is not included in that price!
Someone made a butt load of money on this project which is typical. It is kind of funny you see these stories but I have looked and never see a story on how successful these projects that cost millions of dollars actually are. It would be nice to see a journalist do a deep dive investigation on these projects.
You should have covered the expense. Why so expensive per tiny house? I'm glad the city is trying.
This won't go well. Each tiny home should have a honey do list certain days to do laundry police the area of trash, everyday clean inside. Good rules make good habits , no rules make bad habits
this might help a small percent of people if they qualify and follow the rules.
Wow! Thank you for caring Mayor…we used to live in Chula Vista…good Job..😇😇😇😇🙏🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸
Yeah, thanks for another reason to not work. Let's get some big-screen TVs and popcorn while we are at it. This will be worthless in 6 months. On fire, trashed, and drug houses. Free never works.
Chula Vista added county property taxes to pay for this. Who do you think pays those taxes? Renters in the form of increased rents.
Brainwashed.
And they only cost 1.3 million each to produce.
Say what !?!?!?
Waste of money one year from now and will all be destroyed.
@@libramoon9968 I was being facetious, but knowing how government works and how every last vendor involved will charge 10 times what they would charge a regular customer...a pre-fab shed kit that would cost $1000 at Home Depot or Lowe's will cost the taxpayer 10 x that. Toss in the electrical service panel, air conditioner, IKEA Beds, shelf table, bedding, lighting, windows, etc. and labor costs, I wouldn't be surprised of each shed comes in at about $40K each. Times 56 tiny homes, was it? 2.2 Million. That doesn't even account for the shower, toilets, laundry, and on-site counseling services. Tack on another $100K for those and the salaries of, say, 5 counselors on-site. Conservative estimates say 2.7 million over a year. Divided by 56 residents comes to around $48,200 each. Well...I guess that's cheaper than a suite at a 5-Star downtown hotel. Those, by the way, are being reserved for the Illegals. The stupid Americans get to stay in the cramped toolsheds. AMERICA LAST!!
How many supporters of politicians that made this happen received money.
We need more of these tiny villages all over the US.
Nothing is government funded....it's all taxpayer funded....I don't owe anyone a free place to live...
REI in the city of Austin gives tents, backpacks, boots, sleeping bags, food,etc. - much nicer than I can afford! They have converted an old post office into a place where people can receive mail, so they’re not indigent- and register for an ID, and receive a paycheck when they get a job. They have showers, a communal area with a tv, and pol tables. There’s a big industrial kitchen, and we used to cook Thanksgiving dinner for people. There are still a high rate of homeless in Austin sleeping by the river. They come there because it’s on I-35, and they travel up and down it from winter to summer. It’s not perfect, but it’s a solution.
Good job Chula Vista! This is more than one can ask for. Everything one needs. Shelter food clothing job any job and be appreciative for everything .
Thank you City Council. God bless you all.
I’m just happy people who need a place will now have 1
She is right. Look at the nightmare videos from other cities showing their result on the tiny home concept because they didn’t have a support system set up. Too bad we can’t do what Norway did. Unfortunately that would leave the representation of those getting rich from homeless programs powerless.
I'm glad for the little discussion at then end of the video. There are a lot of realities this solution does not address. It is a "next step" for some.
I say we should set up money-free villages of Futuro homes, Ecocapsules and EV Skoolies.
This needs to be happening all over our country
It needs to happen in your backyard
Yeah cramming us into coffin sized homes while they import 100 million new immigrants and tell us there's not enough space.
@@max420thc do you rather it happen in your front yard or on the streets. Wow at least Americans are being help as well as the communities. They are not criminals. They are people who possible fell on hard luck. It could be you or your children have a heart. At least they are not laying on the side walk or parks where children play. ❗
Really? Most homeless people are drug addicts who brought it upon themselves. Why should my tax dollars go to support their addiction.
God bless you all!!! Bravo! Bravo!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 May God move by His Spirit and deliver each and every residence in Jesus mighty name.Amen!🙌🏽
It will be trashed instantly, alas, and those who try to keep it clean and orderly will be harassed and hounded from doing their jobs.
They should appreciate it. They can go to work and get on their feet financially. Hopefully the doors lock as the homeless have a habit of stealing.
How is this more cost effective than a shelter? Are there any rules? Will there be drug and rehabilitation programs? Is there a work requirement? 80K for a tiny shed? Taxpayers are getting fleeced again!
A shelter does not have privacy and people are not allowed dignity due to rules. Shelters often kick everyone out in the morning (to clean) and dont allow people to return until evening. Families cannot stay in shelters and people are not allowed pets. Pets are often the only family homeless people have and it is not right to take their only family away.
The company behind the Pallet homes requires each development be overlooked by local homeless support groups.
Not sure where the price came from and I think each development has different requirements.
Once again, rewarding people who do nothing for themselves. Reminds me of 50 years ago, when local/federal government's built Projects in cities, with taxpayer money. That worked out well, didn't it? You can't give someone success, because in order to achieve success, it takes work and commitment. Most of these people will continue to use their drugs/alcohol and will never move into these tiny homes.
BTW, the city could have bought completed 8x16 tiny homes from ITH (Incredible Tiny Homes), in TN, for 20k a pop (probably even less than that, if they were built without kitchen sinks and bathrooms), but because it's the government, they'll always overpay, since it's taxpayer money they're spending, and not their own. The only way to solve this, is to build jail's, enforce the law, and not make it a matter of choice, for people who have proven that they will continuously make bad choices, but that's too obvious. This is just another exercise in futility, a waste of money, and will not solve the problem.
Thats good help the poor and homeless people. Just like me help with finding a affordable living place that also can have a family together. Thanks all
The City of Oakland did this for their homeless in East Oakland. And sure enough... within a few short weeks
they *"turned it into the place they came from"* - a FILTHY, DANGEROUS street. Now, on top of that, with
most of these homeless having some sort of mental issues, WHY might there be a MOTHER and a CHILD in
one of these units DO they ever THINK?
Well damn. I applaud them for trying bc it’s ridiculous nowadays
Your right, this never works well.
They also spent over 100k for each shed.
@@wanaraz Wow, that is a ton for those little houses...lol
Since you seem to think it's destined to fail b4 it's even opened, any ideas on how you'd run the facility to achieve peak efficiency?
Very good. Thank you. God bless you all.
This is an amazing opportunity for Chula Vista. It's hasn't done anything for the homeless for years!!
I just hope it's safe for the folks who visit the river park next door
This is really nice. I hope this does well and spreads to helos other homelessness individuals across the U.S.
Now all they have left to do is fence it all off with razor wire and call it a day, I guess.
Thank you city net for your uplifting contributions.
Very nice; I've stayed in far less nice places in the army.
Raleigh Same here in USMC, thx for mentioning that. When I saw 'em I thought of a military base somewhere & lmfao. Semper Fi 🇺🇸
You mean you were PAID to stay in less comfortable places in the army and you STILL reap the benefits of doing so.
The American dream.
Ain't this the greatest nation on earth😃
Did they make a concentration camp? Creepy.
Is Chula Vista Mexico? Or USA?
Thank you Mayor! God bless you.
They will need more storage space. I am currently living in a thing like that. A place to put clothes A place for food. BUT. Something is better than nothing!
I see the problem with that is San Diego is going to be the place to be if your homeless from anywere in the country for free housing and food
I own an industrial building that was meant to manufacture mobile homes. 10,000 sf
Located 20 miles west of Lucid Motors
AVAILABLE
. *THANKS FOR STEPPING UP, IKEA !!!* 1:16 /
. *CHULA VISTA: $80k FOR EACH TINY HOME !!!*
I hope these news guys keep fighting on air. THAT is the KUSI way.
Not sure how this will help but, I can imagine mentally ill homeless people will destroy them and hoarders will have a heyday with these homes. I really hope that this is a viable solution that works.
