      Yes, I do agree as a Texas native give the homeless a home.😊😊❤❤ I think we need to push this program forward. What I think they need is an exercise ground and a basketball ground.

      Yea incentivizing a home for being homeless surely won't cause any more homeless 🙄🙄🙄

      @@bunkyspunkmeyer You're talking about different matters. We're talking about how to solve the current problem. Creating programs that will deter homelessness in the future is a worthy conversation, but sperate.

    Tackling homelessness is going to be a very large challenge. And the best way to do it is with nonprofits and Very large donors who want to open up their pockets instead of buying foolishness

    Wow AMAZING 🤩 and they live in a fairly WARM climate too bravo 👏🏻 to the people there, who did this! Hopefully they build 10 to 20 extra houses as well for people that may come along later on as well, so that people who come along later will also have something! Because woman’s shelters are terrible, AND they actually NEED to make permanent housing for people as well because I’m sure that finding decent homes or even a job will also be nearly impossible!

    Those shacks are embarrasing for how much they pay for them, it seems just like a scam to guarantee the sales of those overpriced, underfeatured shacks.

    @swiftwindturning Před 5 měsíci +2

    Great idea. But is it self-sustaining, meaning the occupants pay something reasonable for living there (which building tiny makes it possible to do)? Or will it be dependent on others to maintain & pay for services? This news story never said. I think it's an important question. Do you?

    I like the idea. But shower, bathroom, kitchen, & laundry facilities are a must. I dont believe in human dog houses. The dignity comes with hygiene, washing yourself, washing your clothes, a restroom & someplace to fix your food.

    So, me too I'm gonna stop paying my monthly rent, be evicted, be homeless and me too gets a free apartment and save on paying monthly Santa Monica high rent. Furthermore, this my idea shall be adopted by 100 million renters nationwide as well.

    • @swiftwindturning
      @swiftwindturning Před 5 měsíci

      My question was, do the occupants pay what would be a reasonable price since tiny is cheaper? Or is it dependent on others paying to maintain the whole thing? This news story never even brought that up. Kind of important. Because you're right.
