There is a new trend in housing the homeless. It's called tiny houses. What it amounts to is a portable shed on a trailer.
They are about 9 feet by 11 feet. They have a bed and a table and a composting toilet (that's basically an indoor outhouse). There is no plumbing or electricity. In Wisconsin, one homeless woman and her boyfriend have already occupied one of the tiny houses. It's parked on the street and moved by a volunteer every 24 to 48 hours so city ordinances will not be violated.
Don't you look forward to the day you wake up and see them parked in front of your house?
