Portland offers free “tiny home” to residents… if they let homeless people live in them
Excerpt: Out in the Northwest there’s been a movement for some time known as Keep Portland Weird. It’s an attitude which seems to infect not only the highly liberal population, but their elected officials as well. That appears to be on display yet again as the city seeks new ways to combat its skyrocketing problem of homelessness. With thousands of indigent residents sleeping each night either on the streets or in makeshift, crime infested tent cities, a new solution is clearly needed. I suppose that’s what led to the current proposal which is being rolled out this summer. The city will pay for “tiny houses” which residents can put in their backyards, provided they allow the homeless to live in them for the next five years. (Daily Mail)
