It's embarrassing how this homeless man puts more effort than the city

[theturtle]

Real estate agents be like “lovely cozy home, convenient to local area shops, markets and freeways.” $650, 000

[josetteandres]

I love that he's got flower pots and a nice path leading to his house.

[tizodd]

Love this dude's approach to life: When life gives you lemons...build a mansion.

[ChocoBabiChan]

They just got this man evicted. He was living happily but their meddling and contacting officials just fucked him over.

[karinr]

it's crazy how the media portrays the homeless. Mini Mansion???!!! it's called a shelter. wtf.

[z-man]

Well I have one thing in common, in my 65 years of paying taxes, no one has offered me housing either!

[lizardvideoz]

This man took "just get a house" to another level

[cheems]

It infuriates me that this reporter is making it seem like she supports him but in reality she’s dry snitchin on him. They must’ve had nothing of more importance to report that day.

[antimatter]

I'm almost sure he did not want his spot to be filmed on TV

[tristancarroll]

That’s a humble man right there, despite the position that’s he’s in he’s making the best of it.

[bigbaebae]

I lived a few blocks down, I saw him building it from the beginning. He’s no longer there. I wonder where he went. Especially with the rains 😔

[essentialdetour]

This is a shelter. Not a mansion. There’s a reason he’s so willing to accept housing

[sarbantz]

At least, he cleans around and we should give him credit for. Homeless, I see every day, trash everywhere and everything.

[alexremix]

This reminds me of a comedian who made fun of the film crew filming right next to hungry children announcing, "these poor children are starving" He said, you are right next to them!!! Give them food!!! Feed them!!!!

[nikkic]

That’s beautiful. He’s making the world a more beautiful, kinder place.

[erniec]

“We reached out to city officials and caltrans for comment” way to snitch this man out. News media doing new media things 🤦🏻‍♂️

[disc]

They should hire this guy for landscaping, seems like a hard worker.

[tysonazure]

People will pass by them and laugh at these people not knowing their capabilities and some of them are really talented and probably have way more brains than the person laughing at them. They deserve respect just like everyone else

[mr.fatters]

I just passed by this area and he isn't there anymore
