A man is making mobile tiny homes on wheels to provide innovative shelter for unhoused people—inspired after his brother become homeless.

    As useful and needed as these might be, I can only imagine that anyone actually living in one would be constantly harassed by local authorities for parking/zoning violations.

    Society needs to be better!

      I’m imagining waking up in the middle of the night to someone riding the whole thing away with me still in it

        Ideally there’s a way to lock it down from the inside. A bar through the back wheel(s) or something.

            You can do this with anything in life, ever, though.

            An example being, “A stationary house? But what if the river rises? How will I move my home away from it?”

              Lol I dunno, somebody wrapping up a tiny little cube as a prank seems a bit more likely than the tide rising above normal

                You’d have to shrink-wrap more than 84,500 buildings in the US by 2050 if you want to compete with ocean-level rise from climate change. Warning; pdf link.

                My comment talked about rivers rising, but you said the ocean, so I went with the ocean for my reply.

      There’s space in the US west. But, one can’t live in those places without a motor or engine to procure water and food.

          Super cool spot to boondock.

          But, if one wants to live rent free and with community, I suggest southeastern Utah or anywhere along America’s loneliest road. Be sure to read the vibe: It’s public land. But, it’s still not a good idea to remain where you’re not wanted.

      It’s still better than a tent or anything like it i presume. Because if someone is harassing them they can just pedal away.
