Tiny Homes On Wheels Spark New Debate On Homelessness In San Pedro

San Pedro residents packed a neighborhood council meeting Tuesday night to express their concerns about tiny houses built for the homeless that have been popping up on their streets. Brittney Hopper reports.

These small houses could be put on various city lots and build a central kitchen/shower/living room it’s like a lodge and then there could be 5-10 or 15 tiny houses on the same lot and everyone uses the central structure for sanitation bathrooms showers etc.

That that said find them a job I've been homeless a lot in my life and it's because I have a disability I can't work. some people cannot work that's why they're homeless. you can tell he's never been homeless a day in his life. he's never had to struggle or be without a home

the alternative to this is people sleeping in dirt. how do you expect people to look for jobs when they don't even have basic necessities such as shelter covered? do you really think people who constantly have to worry about their safety have time to do much else?

The issue of tiny homes and the issue of where to put them should’ve been decided right then and there at that town meeting you don’t wait another month after you OK the tiny homes 🏡 to find out where to put them!
Perhaps one day those on the council meeting will lose their jobs and their homes and end up homeless only then they realize how difficult it is to be without a place to call your own. The homeless needs shelter is now not a month later!

The homeless need a place to be that is safe. How can anyone take that away from the homeless and be comfortable in their own home. Shame, shame.

"Find them a job"

I hate this comment so much. It belies a total ignorance of the conditions people in homelessness go through. It's pure conservative nonsense.

[Hanna]

Easier to build tiny houses than to find places to put them. Like garbage dumps, NIMBY!

"I have a son who is homeless"

Why is he not living with you? I will never cease to get angry at family who don't take in relatives. There is no excuse, at all.

Would like an update on this. Does any one know where I can find more information on this article. February 2020

Find and empty piece of land put some roads into it and place the tiny homes there in the meantime the city/state can put in sewer lines water lines and proper roads and build designed tiny homes for less than $10, 000.00 each complete with running water electricity toilet and bath with no more that 50 people in each section and see how that works like they are doing in Detroit and other tiny homes community.

So the people that are complaining about these tiny homes they'd rather see a bunch of Filth and tents tf

😂😅 So when you are asleep the police can roll you away, or worse some other homeless person could roll you off down a hill to get you off their turf!😮
