(102,892 posts)Having been homeless in the past, this would have been a serious improvement. But then, I have lived in semi truck cabs for years at a time, it wasn't until the late 80s early 90s that you could stand up in one or have a place to put your feet when climbing into the driver's seat!. Compared to that, these have lots of room. And sure beats living in the open or in a tent or cardboard box.
If I had the money and lived in a city, I would set up a place where there would be bathing facilities and room for several of these things. Don't know how I would run a place like that but I'm sure I could come up with a doable plan for folks who have no place to go or be and who need safety, warmth, a bed, a place to eat and a place to put a few belongings. It's amazing how just having such basics can improve one's outlook on life.
Come to think of it, they look to be about the size of worker housing in some of the farm country in California back in the 70s and probably earlier. Bet they're of better construction.
Kudos to those who are promoting this and I hope it is a workable concept that could help a lot of people in these times.
