San Francisco building tiny homes for homeless people

After years of resistance, San Francisco is finally jumping onto the trend of sheltering homeless people in tiny homes, with plans to install them on two parking lots about nine blocks away from City Hall.
The lots at 33 Gough St., between Market and Mission streets, have been used since December as a city-sanctioned “safe sleeping village,” holding 44 tents for unhoused people while they get counseling aimed at routing them into permanent homes. Those tents will be replaced by late fall with 70 tiny homes, dubbed cabins, similar to those already in use for years in Oakland, the Peninsula and San Jose.
Each 64-square-foot cabin will have a steel frame, 2-inch-thick walls, heat, a desk, a bed and a window. The revamped village will get improved bathrooms, storage spaces and a dining area.
The cost of up to $1.7 million for building and installing the cabins, along with the dining and other facilities, will be paid for by the nonprofits DignityMoves and Tipping Point Community. The cabins will remain for 18 months, when the lease the city signed for using the parking lots as outdoor shelter spaces runs out.
The cabins are a pilot program, and this test is just the latest new technique the city is trying in light of the spike in homelessness during the pandemic. Bolstered by new tax, state and federal funding that will bring San Francisco’s homelessness funding to about $800 million for each of the next two years, officials are considering buying more properties for homeless housing, placing people in vacant apartments around the city, and opening a safe RV site for 150 vehicles.

fricking idiots
Lack of a home is not the problem
Mental health/substance abuse issues are the problem

Of course. They’ll officially have a mail box to receive their pre-approved mail-in vote ballots…

Better put some newspaper down or at least some fresh straw.
That’s not insensitive.
Only practical.

And the LIBS will say: they are disadvantaged, they are POC, they are not paid enough, they need more gubment programs and checks etc.

In one week in San Diego I saw a fully naked homeless man playing with his junk around noon middle of downtown, early morning homeless sex romp in a hotel outdoor common area. But naked for everyone to see and I saw a man take a shite right in the middle of a side walk (also downtown).
Its bad everywhere in CA.

That comes out to ~$1300/mo for a 64sqft box.

Those dog houses that look like igloos would be more appropriate

Seventy 8'x8' cabins for $1.7-million. That's only $24k each.
Hell, give them two each. One to shite on and one to cover it up with.
