Cool...tiny houses with a price tag of $800000.

[@rongraham1951]

finally affordable housing no toilet just use the bucket no lighting use a flashlight great idea let mayor chow in Toronto know about this great new innovation

[@mryan3123]

This is really nice, and I would love to see more developments like this project. I believe the biggest stumbling blocks are that in many cities the property taxes raised from these small homes aren't large enough, so they put roadblocks in the way. Added to this are the nimby crowd who, I'm sure, would fight any development like this near their million dollar homes.

[@Zodibear]

This is a really kind gesture from this guy to build something like this with his own money. Seems like a really great dude! ☺️

[@jptrainor]

How do they handle water and sewer?

[@62Cristoforo]

Indoor Plumbing ?

Live in the pod and eat the bugs 🪳

[@WinstonSmith-yw8ou]

basically a pod

[@XetaXones]

@@WinstonSmith-yw8ouit will become pods eventually

[@XetaXones]

This is NOT a solution, its a normalizing of extreme poverty and the plummeting quality of life. Of course, the rich stay rich and cozy.

[@WinstonSmith-yw8ou]

exactly

[@JSRTales]

imagine the immigrants who leave 2000 sq ft homes jump thru all hoops and work very much come to canada and you have to live with your fam in 400 sqft homes 😮😮😮

[@zachery19971]

It was built for under 2 million dollars and is subsidized rent

[@JohnShinn1960]

How cute. How much is the rent? How much is the rent? How much is the rent?

[@XetaXones]

It will keep raising until it too is unaffordable. Next stop- dog cages and coffin homes!

[@62Cristoforo]

Build your own, or find someone local and competent to build it for you. Save hundreds of thousands of dollars.

[@XetaXones]

@@62Cristoforo save hundreds of thousands of dollars only to get a funhouse?

[@Squirrel.shorts]

❤ Hi is there anyone from Fredericton here?? May know how much does it cost of a single room fo rent in Fredericton now. Please someone reply me 🤗

[@WinstonSmith-yw8ou]

Canadians should not have to live like this!

[@colinsellers1143]

The name will change to New Canada soon

[@XetaXones]

Its not a “free” country, we are an oligarchy like all the other unfree countries.

[@62Cristoforo]

Who said we must live in million dollar sprawling houses? Better to be a part of an intentional community, away from the big city

[@louisetringham5830]

This is truly amazing our government would not off thought of this. Our tax payer dollars is used to line the pockets of thieves. This is what Canadians are pulling together for a better future. Thank You

[@WinstonSmith-yw8ou]

tiny homes are a better future? our homes are occupied by foreigners!

[@shauncameron8390]

Living like a 3rd-worlder = better future?

[@62Cristoforo]

The biggest road block to tiny home development is local zoning and building codes adapting to these svelte structures and minimalist lifestyle.

[@dembipor]

They have better houses in Africa. 😂😂 3rd world country.

[@Gil-zt8ur]

The lower mainland around Vancouver needs this.

[@clarifyingquestions]

Nope Vancouver is too expensive for the homeless. They need to move to more affordable communities just like many teacher, tradesman, doctors, cashiers, postal workers have had to leave Vancouver and the lower mainland to more affordable places like Edmonton, Winnipeg.

[@user-eo1vz9lt8g]

It's a great idea. I hope they have an on-residence manager to manage any potential trouble makers, but the whole idea is one to be admired...Not everyone homeless is a drug addict, many/most are but some got there from abuse and no fault of their own...
