Last spring, Betty Ybarra occupied a tent in a county park and with her tentmates dug
moats to discourage oncoming floodwaters.

Starting Christmas Eve, she and a tentmate will upgrade to a brand new “tiny home” they
helped build with aid from a variety of helpers including local colleges. It has a
roof, insulated walls, a toilet and a sink. Christmas lights hang outside it.....

The houses currently must be trailered around the neighborhood a couple of
times a week. City ordinance allows them to be parked on the street as long as
they’re moved every 48 hours.

The transient life will eventually end for the houses as it does for their occupants, Wallbaum said.

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.
