This week in class we had a presentation on tiny homes and whether or not they could be a solution towards homelessness. There are pros and cons towards tiny home villages and whether or not they would be beneficial to society let alone the homeless. Something to consider is whether or not it is a good idea to put the homeless population all in the same area or to spread them out. This is not an answer that can be answered immediately because again, we have to look at the pros and cons. Having them all together could make things easier for the community itself, but may not be beneficial to the homeless population. However, having them dispersed all over a city may make it difficult to regulate them and have an idea of where they may. Tiny homes I believe are a good option for homeless because it provides a better shelter then sleeping on the park bench. However, my initial thought when I think of tiny homes is all the TV shows that are made about the rich wanting tiny homes.  The rich are  saying they want to “downsize,” but then spend an abundance of money on trying to make it the fanciest “tiny home” someone has ever seen. I personally believe that tiny homes are nothing but a trend that people have recently discovered. If one simply Google’s “tiny homes” and clicks on images the “TINY” homes that come up are absurd. They are beautiful and a generally interesting idea (one I could never live in though), but one could easily tell that they have a lot of money put into them. I recognize that building tiny home communities for the homeless population would not have such elaborate homes because they would have such a smaller budget, but then I also feel that the rich would no longer be interested in them. I don’t say that in a bad or a good way, I just believe it is the truth because then the rich would not think they have something “unique.”
