So many possible problems.

What happens when homeless start a fire? What about your insurance rates? What about if homeless living in your backyard break into your house? What about when homeless invite others to live with them? How do they get electrical and running water out to these houses in your backyard? Who pays for it? What if homeless create disturbances, police called etc? Are you as the homeowner responsible? What if they are dealing drugs or other illegal activity happens on your property because of them?

Then are you now a landlord and subject to all the laws governing rental housing?

These houses will tap into the property owner's electricity, water, sewage, and garbage disposal? What about cable and phone?

No household with small or school age children should consider this arrangement. The possibility of assault or learning bad habits is too high.

Will there be an agreement that the homeowner can enter that little house every few weeks? Some homeless won’t bother to properly dispose of trash. Will there be limits on any ‘guests’ the homeless person may have? Some homeless may start trying to make their own money by renting their space out to people the property owner has never met. High liability.

No matter how destitute people are, basic hygiene is a must. I don’t think people want homeless (old time vagrants, hobo’s, bums) being unhygienic in their backyards.

Why doesn’t the state ship all these people out into the empty desert areas of California? Spend the money to build some minimal campground type of shelters out there, or they can live in tents if they prefer as they do now. Bathrooms and water supply are whatever you typically have at campgrounds. Not sure how food and medical care would be supplied.

This from the area that didn’t like “granny flats”! Guess they like bums or homeless more than grandma!

Maybe they got the idea from one of Matthew Bracken’s books... If you had a spare room in your house the government made you share it with the homeless...

How many backyard homeless units will be built in the private gated communities in Los Angeles? Such as Beverly Park, Malibu Colony, La Brea Terrace, Laughlin Park, Valley Oak Drive, Brentwood Country Estates, Brentwood Circle, Fremont Place. Zero zilch, nada.

In Dallas County, TX, there is the Trinity Forest. It is huge. There are homeless ‘cities’ down in there. An acquaintance (a minister-type dude) has told me about the elaborate rainwater catchments and privies and gardens they have. Some of it is apparently well planned with no beaurocrats involved.

All common sense good points. Take away common sense and big picture thinking and you have a typical “Do Good-er lib”. Ala Californian
