RE: Our Homeless Experience: Part 1.
A realy conundrum.
What do you do? With alcoves like pictured. From the homeless point of view it is one of the best spots in town. From the hospital's point of view, they need to keep it clear for numerous reasons, the only real one being that you can't block the air flow.
It is really tragic that the people who want to help the homeless have no clue what they need. They think shelters with lines of beds and curfews are just fine, missing all the essentials that homeless really need.
Why can't we just build a bunch of these alcoves with solar walls (heaters)
I'm a big fan of tiny houses being used to help out. A space for a person or family to call home. It's cost effective if you look at it from the perspective of the money saved by keeping people out of the Emergency Room, simply looking for warmth.
Spot on.
We just put in a shipping container village in our town for the homeless. They turned out great.
Looks like a lot full of tiny houses set up in a trailer park configuration.
