Ironically, #1 obstacle to ending homelessness is government. #2 obstacle is #PovertyInc. Municipal zoning discriminates against the poor. #PovertyInc refuses to hold Gov responsible bc you can’t bite the hand that feeds you. #OMGov #yyc #yeg #yyccc #yegcc #ableg #cdnpoli

Tiny homes are a great idea & a great innovation. They can easily replace "trailer parks" with affordable housing. They are not only for the homeless, many Millenials are attracted to the minimalist concept. A bit of a policy minefield & NIMBY, but worthy it #yyc #yyccc #ableg

Really?! The point is to open your mind & not just accept things as they are just because they've always been that way. "I'm not saying anything against the cats. They were nice fellows....They passed good laws--that is, laws that were good for cats." What colour cats are you?

$300,000/unit for each homeless person is hardly "much more efficiently". If we're serious about addressing social issues, we require innovative approaches. #ableg #yyc #yyccc #poverty

I question this statement: "...but they ended up in a system that spent the existing money much more efficiently.” #yyccc #yyc

Here's a cost analysis of microhomes vs traditional approach taken by Govt/Foundations. We're building #Microhomes for $3000/unit -$10,000/unit. Govt spending $300,000/unit. We build 30 units to Govt/Fdn's 1. #HomesWithHeart #yyc #ableg #cdnpoli
