"TINY HOUSES"....Could this Work for Some?

[KoKo]

18. Yes...with Open Space and plantings to make it attractive and Community Garden...?

I know it sounds altruistic and "Commune" like. But, as posters up above said...it could work for Single Homeless and give a chance and hope. If they were done carefully with space. Not all homeless would be happy with this...but, many could be and hopefully make it work for them.

Many homeless are mentally ill and those problems are hard to deal with along with drug abusers and folks who just have such severe problems that they are wanderers for whatever reason. Yet, we have more and more homeless who were victims of the Housing Bust and Jobless America. They need a fresh start and just a space to get their senses together. The Newly Homeless are a huge problem. There's hardly a redlight in my former Boom Area in my State that doesn't have a man or woman with a sign asking for help these days. And, many folks don't have close family or friends to help them out.

I'd like to see this work...and agree with others that plots of land adjacent to cities would be a great place to experiment with "open space, community gardens" and sharing.

But...then...I've always been hopeful. Doesn't always work out...but, we should at least try to cope with the growing number of homeless who need that space to get their lives back in some kind of order. At least it's an idea...and for some might work and be a turn around for their future.
