@starsandrobots No objection per se, but hardly seems revolutionary. Aren't these basically just trailer parks?

@dfranke hm, it seems like there's a difference in kind which seems difficult to describe at first. Perhaps that you'd stay for <2y only? -
@dfranke also fwiw — the microhome I saw was solitary (under the 13th st. freeway overpass in SF.)

@starsandrobots Heating/sewage/electricity efficiencies. That's a problem where microhousing is widespread (also, the definition of slum). -
@martin_wicke are there good alternative ways to improve on homelessness? (also: e.g. led by volunteer organizations in lieu of the state?) -
@starsandrobots In most places, a shortage of housing isn't actually the problem. It may be here, but that's abnormal http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2014/09/22/home-free …
