Spacing looks a bit odd. Would a communal park and then less space between each be better? Not really enough space around each one to be much use beyond a few plant pots anyway.

[–] RedAggroBest@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago (3 children)

They're probably parking spaces. It doesn't look like a bad set up. Parking is behind your little studio apartment style trailer.

$10k per house per million?

I hope he was a millionaire several times over…

[–] AFKBRBChocolate@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Almost certainly. Having $1M is unremarkable these days. Technically a millionaire is someone with more than a million and less than a billion, but usually these days it refers to people with hundreds of millions.

[–] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 7 points 1 month ago (4 children)

A million could buy you like... Two houses. Maybe 3 or 4 at a push if they're small.

Someone took 99 families off the streets? Wow fuck that asshole, how dare she have enough money to do that. How dare she not give up her home and make it 100 families off the streets, not good enough!

-Half this website, angry 99 families now have a place to live who didn't before this event

The anger isn't (necessarily) for the rich person who housed people. It's for the system who left people homeless in the first place, the system that will put those people back on the streets if they don't pay rent/property taxes/whatever other fee people have to pay to exist, the system where the solution is literally just "have rich people pay their share and almost everything will be fixed" but for some reason the people in charge can't (or don't want to) figure that out.

You conflating anger with the system with anger for people getting houses is disingenuous.

that sounds an awful lot like communism to me. We can't have that.

i think there's an area in project zomboid that looks like that

[–] Alph4d0g@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 1 month ago

Not everyone agrees with this thought but I'm also for allowing unused city parcels to be used for homeless tents and such. My city does everything it can to hide homelessness without addressing any of the underlying issues

Good start, weird that it's built like a CPU heat sink. Wouldn't it be cheaper to build duplexes or quadplexes? Fewer walls, less insulation per person...

[–] el_eh_chase@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

These are tiny homes that are built in a shop and just dropped onto the little concrete pad once they're done. A small crew was able to build them out over time, so I can't say which option exactly is cheaper. One advantage was they were able to move people in as they were built too.

Edit to add a word

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Even lower income people want a places they can call their own. Even lower income people prefer not to deal with other people’s noise or stomping or flooded sink. Even lower income people don’t want to deal with a building manager for repairs. Even lower income people want to be able to make choices in their living accommodations.

Plus these are probably all factory built and I see a simple gravel foundation. Cheap and fast to set up, but it’s still a house. Probably much cheaper than full scale houses

[–] thedirtyknapkin@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

probably zoning laws. that's a HUGE part of why we don't just build more apartments in many places. it's why people get so passionate about the "white flight" as it's known and nimbyism. everyone wants to fix homelessness, but in any of the places that one could effectively build community housing it is illegal to make anything that provides housing to more than 1 or 2 families. the people that live there want homelessness to go away, but when it's proposed to build low income housing nearby they freak out and say "poor people and drug addicts? they do crime. low income housing is cool, but not in my backyard".

being poor in america has such a stigma that homeowners consistently vote to ban them from living nearby by banning apartments. to be perfectly honest, I'm just waiting for zoning laws to try and make these tiny homes illegal now that people are building them for the poor.

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

And building codes. The foundation alone can be the reason. A regular full scale building requires a concrete or piered foundation or slab depend8ng on the area, which is fairly expensive and time consuming. These look like simple gravel foundations, which is fine for that size structure
