Plan to tackle homelessness by selling backyard-sized cabins in Australia

By tjmcfee

They tried to do that in other places. Most of those units will turn into vacation rentals that benefit only the people that already own property. Pathetic. If policy makers would only be realistic. Do house owners want homeless people sharing bathroom and kitchen space? These small units do not have room for these facilities. Micro housing for the homeless only make sense if units are placed on a campground like setting with shared cooking and restroom facilities. That’s my opinion. T.J.

Down Not Out

By Laura Gartry published by ABC News:

A national initiative to tackle homelessness by selling cabins that fit in backyards is being launched in Perth.

The idea for Brain Sections came from reading a book about abandoned asylums. I wanted to set a suspense story in that setting. The inclusion of crazed scientists turning homeless people into zombies is what makes the story unique. View all posts by tjmcfee
