Little pink houses for you and me, lol.
It’s cute how San Francisco calls them tiny houses for the homeless more like for everyone by the time the invasion ends.
You get what you vote for....good and hard!
Build them, tear them down, build them again, tear them down again, on and on. Makes perfect sense, right? How long do they think these things will last? Are the homeless going to take care of them? If they are vets, then give them their benefits, and proper care, stop taking away from their funding to give to aliens who will only make a mess of their “temporary” housing.
Do they move their cardboard homes and shopping cards in as well ?
The bigger picture is that US cities like Memphis, San Francisco, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Houston, etc.... are engaged in an experiment. They have emptied their jails, courts, prisons, etc.. and instead run the cities as free range prisons. Every aspect of life in those cities is shaping into prison life. Everyone except the ruling class is managed exactly like prison inmates.
its just a dry place for get high or drunk and flop.
Soon to be surrounded by fencing “for their safety”.
Is what's shown in that picture one unit or 15 units? If that's one unit, then $115,000 is not too bad, but I suspect that's 15 units.
San Fran “Tiny Houses” = “Crack Dens”
Oh that place will be a rat 🐀 infested toilet in 6 months. Ugh
Their is a market based antidote for “affordable” housing, and that’s a robust free housing market shorn of zoning, bureaucratic planning and extreme permitting and extreme regulations. Get “the government” out of the way and where there is “a market” private capital will find a solution.
As I have seen in New York City over five decades, once the local government goes down the rode of the government being the insurer of providing “affordable housing” the impact it has on the residential marketplace is such that it becomes a proposition the local government can never get out of. That portion of the market that remains market driven continues to get out of range of “affordable” due to the supply and demand balance being unbalanced by all the units that are not available, and never will be available, at market rates. Additional measures will be taken to try to “stimulate” or “preserve” more “affordable” units, such as “rent controls” and attempts to get private investors to get into joint ventures with a certain number of units subsidized by the government. The result is the same - the market rate available number of units is always constrained by that portion of the supply protected by the “affordable housing” measures, which INSURES the market rate available units will never be “affordable”. The market rate avialble number of units will always be less than optimum, to help make housing affordable, because of all the units removed from market rate forces.
Wokies will do anything to avoid addressing the basic cause of the problem.
They’ve been choosing and voting for socialism (communism w/a smiley face) for decades... and now... they’re finally getting outraged? How really stupid are they?
“San Francisco Residents Outraged”
screw ‘em ... they voted for this shite ... and they’ll just keep on voting for MORE shite ...
Are they allowed to bring in their drugs? Many won’t go in homeless shelters, etc., b/c it means they have to follow rules such as no drugs, cigarettes, etc. - and no animals allowed.
Will the mentally ill be mandated to take their meds?
Those places will be trashed beyond repair shortly, just as they were in Los Angeles.
Too bad this isn’t being installed somewhere like PacHeights, or better The Castro, Scott Weiner’s district - or another nicer area - the Mission and Tenderloin have already been trashed beyond repair. These people need to get a good, hard dose of what they’ve been voting for.
I remember after Hurricane Katrina the refugees from New Orleans were given decent camper trailers to live in. The occupants destroyed them so bad they were not resellable.
I expect the same for these small houses.
i’m guessing that’s a before picture...
It looks like that picture shows 16 of these $113,000 tiny units.
$113,000 x 16 = $1,808,000 + whatever other costs per unit to actually get them in service.
This "crisis" is going to create a few too. Selling $5000 units to the city for $100,000 leaves quite a bit of room for the many waiting pockets. If there is any outrage, it's against the graft, not the product.
