'Portakabin villages' plan to solve emergency housing crisis
RE
The pictures make the accommodations look nice. But is it meant to cure only the homeless people equation, versus the homeless and addicted to drugs part? Don't current homeless shelters exclude the drug addled, who then end up being just...homeless that can't have indoor housing regardless of whether or not "homeless" housing exists?
And when the homeless have nicer pads then what a McDonalds worker can afford, won't there be some kind of backlash related to "be homeless and live better than working on minimum wage!" campaign? Which would seem to make perfect sense, the picture of that room looked pretty similar to my first apartment out of college, and I was making a couple bucks an hour more than minimum wage back then.
