Here is an interesting idea for low cost housing that can also have homeless people build esteem and contributing not only in the building of a home for themselves but also for a sustainable community. With the current issue of ‘tent cities’ form in the local area (Colorado Springs) and the ‘wonderful’ solution of local government to fine these people and evetually place them in jail does nothing more than create another set of issues.
Is it possible that there are some people in these groups desire homes to live in, but through a series of events beyond their control just can’t manage. I really wonder about government programs that are to help people while they instead paralyze their growth.
Think about this video and then there will be a later followup using another system that papercrete can enhance.
