Ybarra? Sounds hispanic. The only homeless I ever see are white or black. No asians either.

"We can check on our flowers and we can now try to live a normal life," said Ybarra, 49, who shares her new home with her friend Chris Derrick, 55, who had also been homeless.What do Ybarra and Chris do for work? The article failed to mention what their job occupations were.

It’s a nice idea, and good luck to them. But I think they’ll find that their “village” will soon turn into a cesspool of drugs, theft, and filth. Folks who are homeless for any length of time usually seem to have addictions and/or mental problems.

This picture reminds me of a barrio in Bogota, Colombia, although these hovels look more upscale than the ones I saw there. Where was this picture taken?
Interesting to see all the satellite dishes in this pix.

Homeless is a full time occupation. Note the PU truck, which I will assume is theirs. (Some LEO please run the plate to confirm.) 99% of these citizens are happy with their homeless occupation. The Peoples Republic of Madisonstan has just built a village with a RAT voting booth in the next 99 sqft home. Oh joy to the homeless world.

Wonder what property taxes she pays.
To: E. Pluribus Unum
Satellite/Dish TV sure has a lot of customers don’t they. Makes you wonder who’s paying for that.?

This is a PROGRAM thats gonna work!!!!! (SARC) Just wait until someone sues because it doesn't meet the standards of the Americans With Disabilities Act.
Before you know it these cubicles will have to have 3000 sq. ft. of space to accommodate wheel chairs.
Just watch.

The assumption is always that the ‘homeless’ want off the streets. Study after study has shown that the vast majority of folks living on the streets have substance abuse problems and/or mental health issues. Most do not want help.
For those who want help there are plenty of programs out there.
