This is the view of someone who never had to spend a night in the street, in the cold, that never suffered something like this. Yeah, in a perfect world any of this would be needed. But I can assure you that any homeless person would be more than happy to have this instead of spending another night outside. This comment is completely out of touch.

Yeah, this is exploitation of people because they have no other option. You should care enough for people to make things good for them. If you can’t do it right, don’t do it. This tech bro mentality of move fast and break things doesn’t work with people’s lives. Read a humanities book once in a while instead of being obsessed with technology.

Yeah, it would be much betterto spend years finding the "right solution" while some people die out there. /s

Ideally, yes. We should not do anything to anyone anywhere until we can exhaustively determine what the consequences are. Remember Chesterton's fence and never forget that regulations are written in blood.

These are my design: nanoshelters.com We build despite haters like yourself.

Good show!

Thanks for your Service!

California has the privilege that most of it doesn't get snowfall, and thus living in a tent in winter is closer to uncomfortable than life threatening. Toronto has no such luxury. Given the choice between living in a shoebox and being dead, some will prefer the shoebox.

Plus, there have been some attempts at tiny home community in LA and SF that are pretty similar.
