Crate-0-Miniums?

Last hour CNN had a feature on people living in their cars. They are allowed to spend the night in parking lots, but must move out of the parking lots during business hours. I caught the tail end of the story -- don't know the location.

Where do they shower or go potty? I also wonder where the homeless people who live under the overpasses on the connecter in downtown Atlanta do that.It's really a sad situation.

I remember years ago McDonald's was trying a concept of showers and lockers for homeless people. It didn't go over very well since they (the employees) had to pay for it. It was a lot like the old company store adage.

Sadly, the shipping crate houses are better design than 80% of the houses in SoWal.
Give me one of those off 30A and I'll be happy forever...

I'm sure they'd like to do one here.

Kinda has that "freight car" feel....ala the hobos riding the rails during the Depression era.

I can't wait to tell my Mom about this... she and Dad's first newlywed home was a
boxcar. They said that boxcar house was hotter-n-hades in summer and colder-n-??? in the winter! They will get a particular kick out of today's "affordable" price
