99 is not nearly enough but it's a start at least

Not nearly enough? How many homeless people were in this guy's town?!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

99 would take in every homeless person in a wide berth around here. WIDE. And I'm next door to the second poorest county in Florida.

Hell yeah we're bringing back shanty towns

Good start, weird that it's built like a CPU heat sink. Wouldn't it be cheaper to build duplexes or quadplexes? Fewer walls, less insulation per person...

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Even lower income people want a places they can call their own. Even lower income people prefer not to deal with other people’s noise or stomping or flooded sink. Even lower income people don’t want to deal with a building manager for repairs. Even lower income people want to be able to make choices in their living accommodations.

Plus these are probably all factory built and I see a simple gravel foundation. Cheap and fast to set up, but it’s still a house. Probably much cheaper than full scale houses

probably zoning laws. that's a HUGE part of why we don't just build more apartments in many places. it's why people get so passionate about the "white flight" as it's known and nimbyism. everyone wants to fix homelessness, but in any of the places that one could effectively build community housing it is illegal to make anything that provides housing to more than 1 or 2 families. the people that live there want homelessness to go away, but when it's proposed to build low income housing nearby they freak out and say "poor people and drug addicts? they do crime. low income housing is cool, but not in my backyard".

being poor in america has such a stigma that homeowners consistently vote to ban them from living nearby by banning apartments. to be perfectly honest, I'm just waiting for zoning laws to try and make these tiny homes illegal now that people are building them for the poor.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

And building codes. The foundation alone can be the reason. A regular full scale building requires a concrete or piered foundation or slab depend8ng on the area, which is fairly expensive and time consuming. These look like simple gravel foundations, which is fine for that size structure

Mm I don't think this is the solution to homelessness. It's not that we don't have enough housing it's that the working class gets pushed down so much and can't work despite wanting to. But I'm not qualified to solve homelessness so who am I to tell them how to spend their money.

$10k per house per million?

I hope he was a millionaire several times over…

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Almost certainly. Having $1M is unremarkable these days. Technically a millionaire is someone with more than a million and less than a billion, but usually these days it refers to people with hundreds of millions.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago (4 children)

A million could buy you like... Two houses. Maybe 3 or 4 at a push if they're small.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

Where I am in SoCal, it barely buys you one.

When Trudeau's housing accelerator fund gave a wad of cash to Burnaby they increased developer fees by 50k. I dont know where this guy lives but people dont want to live out in the middle of no where with no job.

How many stories have I seen about billionaires building housing? Zero. Though, to be fair, I've only seen a meme about a millionaire doing so. No verification that it happened.
