What a kind hearted, compassionate man. It's so thoughtful of him to use his gift to build tiny homes for people to help shield them from the cold weather. He's proven that they are fire resistant. I don't know what cold hearted person would be against what he's doing. I wish him the best. This is what humility and thoughtfulness towards people in need looks like.

FACTS. I say this everyday

[@santiagobenites]

Now that City of Toronto is trying to shut this guy down, because he's making them look bad. They're saying that these shelters are a 'fire hazard', even though they've been fireproofed, and have a smoke detector and a fire extinguisher installed. He's actually doing something helpful and beneficial, but Toronto officials are against people helping other people without getting their 'approval'. It's truly pathetic.

[@elmutmagdaresha5154]

@Blackpillrevolution Which is the exact same hazard in a tent but you're in more danger in a tent in freezing temperatures because it can't retain heat well. So you must use an external heat source which is usually involving propane or some other combustible fuel. If people are stuck outside without other options why would living in a tent be a better option than some form of insulated shelter?

[@bigdawg7980]

city of toronto councel is full of Karens who dont even live in toronto.

[@TheGloomyTuesday]

It's the same as telling tent companies to stop production.

[@felix4321ful]

Of course he's making them look bad and they hate him for that. He's using his limited resources to build these structures, meanwhile those greedy bastards working for the city council are sitting on their hands doing nothing.

Khaleel, much respect for you and for your project. A few similar units have been built here in western Oregon, US, but much of the very limited assistance for unhoused people, is directed toward building somewhat larger units, including part or all basic utilities. (By some, I mean a common building including shower rooms and laundry facilities. Since Covid began, shelters must observe masking and 6' distancing requirements, limiting capacity to 50% or less. Will finish my point in next text; this has gotten long and talky. Will see if you have an email or website.

People dying of addictions, heroin dealers hanging around their tents or shelters but these tiny shelters equipped with smoke, carbon detectors and fire extinguisher are dangerous.

Yes running water, electricity and a toilet would be nice but these are temporary and just big enough to be heated by body heat so that they don't freeze at night. One thing they forgot to mention is these shelters are on wheels so that if an eviction is really going to happen - they can roll their homes to a different location. A possible solution would be if home owners let them live in their back yards but that would open a whole other can of worms... I think this guy has done a great thing and he is saving lives and helping people have a more normal life. Hopefully at some time they will find a real home in the future.
