Why settle for a tiny house...if you can scrounge four tiny houses, you can get a tiny hotel.

I agree with everything you wrote except that they prefer to be homeless. They don’t want to be homeless. Most would prefer a home, they just can’t manage it. A lot avoid the shelters because they can be dangerous and/or the individuals can’t deal with the rules or are mentally ill enough that is too difficult to handle.
This is Wisconsin? How did they survive even one winter living in the streets?
The description of the tiny house mentions a bed, table and microwave oven but it doesn’t mention a bathroom (flush toilet/shower)?
Since they’re on trailers, they should tow them to a city that has lots of vacant lots, say Detroit or Cleveland.
If they did it in the middle of the night, I’d bet many of the residents wouldn’t even notice.
I imagine that most of them appear on the rolls as reliable democrat voters - even if they aren't aware of it.
Yep! That too!
Seem to always have money for cigs and booze. Or they get them somehow.
There is a Tiny Homes builder in Luling on I-10. They aren’t cheap either.
But they’ve been there for a few years so I guess they do sell some.

I’m surprised that there haven’t been protests demanding that the “we wish you a Merry Christmas” sign be removed.
I think I have seen that place on I-10. The pictures are hard for me to see but they look cute. I would have to have A/C and a good shower.
Can they be plugged into a regular outlet?
Perhaps not always but choice does seem to be the norm.
I’ve never been homeless but I lived out of my van for almost a year when I was in my teens. It gets old in a hurry.
Was your van down by the river?
Sorry, I could help myself :)! That must have been a tough year.
sorry again (couldn’t help myself)
It’s on the south side of I-10 a couple of miles west of the Love’s truck stop.
They have any ammenities you desire and can afford.
You sure have a point in regard to those institutions. We should allow them to help folks that need them, rather than leaving them at the mercy of whoever.
As Christians, we also have the obligation to look after people like this. If we saw more churches standing up and taking responsibility, we’d have far less trouble too.
Certainly saves on plumbing, just move it before the street sweeper comes by.
Sorry, I’m just speaking in the case of having three kids, it gets crowded fast heh.
A lot depends on what’s outside too, rural living in the country is superb. I had to buy a house in town again for now, but I have a spot picked out I should be able to grab in a year or two.
I’d still like to see these places these guys built for these homeless folks.
