[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Y’all complain about the homeless crisis.
Y’all complain about a housing shortage.
Y’all complain about proposed solutions.
Rinse and repeat.

Do you really think people living in homeless encampments or on city streets or off somewhere in wooded areas will have the wherewithal to live in nanny flats in someone’s basement or a tiny house in a backyard?

Where would the rent money come from?

And who is willing to rent to people with mental health and/or addiction issues?

It’s far more likely that affluent people will put tiny homes in their yards and rent them out through Airbnb. Or their failed-to-launch adult children will move into the backyard.

None of this is solving the housing crisis.

Here’s what would:

Go back in a Time Machine so Congress could have taken steps to prevent corporations from commoditizing housing. Prevent Airbnb in urban tourist areas. Only allow citizens to purchase real estate and land. Put caps on how many properties one can own.

Those are real solutions.

Packing more people/families in tiny spaces is a fast track to shantytown. [/quote]
