Big people. Little houses.

A new idea: “Tiny houses” to end homelessness.. 

My quick take: It looks more like little dog houses, as though there is a new low in America.. that instead of trying to get better jobs in this nation, or industry, or good construction, we are going to promote the idea of making one body ‘homes’ that people can hide away in like pieces of garbage.. 

One ‘advocate’ quoted in the NBC story says that this could ‘revolutionize housing’ in the United States.

He may be right. The only house most Americans will be able to afford will be these tiny houses..
