Tiny home on a bicycle provides shelter for the chronic homeless [View all]

https://tinytinyhomes.ca/

I may have posted this before. Friends in the Philippines say that some people do live in tricycles.
And as one Hacker News user commented:

Homelessness is not a technology issue and can't be solved by creating homes on bicycles.

Yes, we should be dealing with the root cause (ahem, extreme concentration of wealth)
But they do give homeless some mobility.


Interesting contrast.

When the cop tells you to move on, one can do so without hassle.
Better to have a decent shelter, granted.
And this is in Canada!
