The Homeless Industrial Complex needs to be stopped.
Strip them of their belongings, wealth and homes and give them to the homeless instead.

tiny homes are the dumbest solution. it's like all the negatives of cage apartments with the negatives of single
family 
homes.

A family friend decided five years ago that he and his wife (late-20s, both masters degree holders) would build a tiny home to live in. The idea being that they could move around with it, live somewhere for a year or a season, then pickup and move.
It has turned into a hilarious saga of failure. Despite both being engineers neither of them could build. It's sat partially constructed in their back yard for years. Now they have a kid and desperately want to get rid of this monstrosity but to sell it they need to finish building it. So they've been pouring incredible, home remodeling-amounts of money into this thing in a desperate bid to extricate themselves from this stupid idea they got from Reddit.
It's glorious. They mop themselves.

So... an RV? Why didn't they just buy a pop-up camper van?

Meanwhile my friend accidentally built a tinyhome in his yard because he realized he bought too much lumber for the foundation of his shed

To be fair, its 172k per which realistically isnt even close to purchasing half a tiny home in LA in todays market.

To be fair, 172k is very realistic for building a small shithole shack.
Its just that nobody wanted to lease their land for the city to mismanage as a hobo trailer park. Not even the city govt

A single wide trailer is like $65,000 in California and is way nicer than any “tiny home”. They'd just need some sort of zoning variance to put a shit ton of them on small lots.

Hmm put the homeless next to where the drugs come from. Pay for whatever drugs they want pennies on the dollar. Climates nice. Frick up anyone who messes with an American.
I think we can crank out a win win !chuds

I think there should be a double border wall, and in between is a long city where all the homeless and drug convicts go. Free housing and food and drugs. They can all live in that communist paradise and leave the rest of us alone.

that's on existing large properties maintained by a larger company in rural areas.
The city needs to buy up blocks of some very expensive land close to where hobos already live and then get it passed Californias insane NIMBY, zoning, and state/municipal red tape. And then it's also a gov project so it probably has a million additional addons like only hiring minority owned local companies with no experience, not some well established company who can turn it out tomorrow.

I helped someone build one of these and our problem was the electricity. It needed to have its tap from the power lines installed, and that alone would probably cost way more than the materials for the whole house.

That's such an absurd amount of money. A bucket of fent would be a fraction of the price and actually fix the problem.
