  1. Goed natuurlijk dat mensen dingen bedenken, maar ik zie hier wel wat haken en ogen.
    Bijv geluidsoverlast. Die housjes zijn wsl niet (voldoende) geluidsgeïsoleerd.
    Eén snurker op de afdeling en je hebt een probleem 🥱

  2. While researching #LemuelShattuck hospital, I came across some stories about how some #TinyHouses set-up in the hospital's parking lot were HELPING with #Homelessness, but were dismantled because the funding ran out... WTF!

    Shattuck’s cottage community, a relief to the #unsheltered at Mass. and Cass, to close this summer

    By Jason Laughlin Globe Staff,Updated May 8, 2024

    "Funding has run out for two Massachusetts housing programs that provide shelter to those who previously lived at the #TentEncampment near the intersection of Massachusetts Avenue and Melnea Cass Boulevard [#MassAndCass]. While the state plans to close one, officials are discussing ways to keep the second program open.

    "A temporary cottage community on the grounds of Lemuel Shattuck Hospital in #JamaicaPlain will shutter at the end of July, a spokesperson from the state Executive Office of Health and Human Services said. The community is no longer accepting new residents, and the nearly two dozen people housed on the grounds now will be offered alternative housing.

    " 'We are committed to ensuring there is no break in services and no break in housing for those who choose to continue forward,' said Deirdre Calvert, director of the Department of Public Health’s Bureau of Substance Addiction Services.

    "The cottages’ closure was first reported by WBUR.

    "The cottages, which included a bed and small living area for individuals or couples, opened in 2022 amid the opioid crisis that led to a homeless encampment near the intersection known as Mass. and Cass. Since then, the community has sheltered more than 100 people, state officials said. The cottages, administered by Commonwealth Care Alliance, offered support for people in addiction while helping them transition to more permanent housing."

    [...]

    "The aluminum cottages each have lockable sleeping cabins, storage for residents’ belongings, heating, and air conditioning. People who had been sleeping on the streets told the Globe in 2022 interviews that the little residences offered a welcome oasis of stability."

    Grand Ronde tribal community debuts 'tiny shelter' villages

    The Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde is working to support #homeless tribal members with two new tiny shelter villages.

    by Tim Gordon, March 15, 2023

    GRAND RONDE, Ore. — "The Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde is working to support homeless tribal members with two new "tiny shelter" villages. The first village opened a few weeks ago, and tribal leaders are already building the second.

    The community northwest of #SalemOR, off Highway 22 on the edge of the coast range, is a rural area with many of the same #housing difficulties other parts of #Oregon are experiencing."

  6. #TorontoON - Sheltering from the storm: how homeless Torontonians turned to #UnionStation as #WarmingCentres filled

    While centres save lives, advocates say, Toronto’s winter shelter response is still leaving residents in the cold.

    By Victoria Gibson, Jan. 17, 2026

    Excerpt: "In winter, the city expands its shelter system — squeezing additional beds into existing shelters, opening up warming centres once temperatures plunge below -5 C, and letting people shelter in contingency spaces such as shelter meeting rooms once temperatures reach -15 C.

    "These sites save lives, says Cathy Crowe, a longtime street nurse and homeless advocate in Toronto. But as those facilities, too, are often at or beyond capacity — and people continue to seek refuge in public spaces like transit stations — she sees a city continually unprepared for extreme weather, with safety nets like the shelter system still unable to catch everyone in need.

    [...]

    "[Unhoused person, Douglas Watt] sees the #CostOfLiving, and #housing, as another major force. 'It’s hard for people to live, and keep up,' he said, noting he relied on disability supports that don’t offer much to cover expenses.

    "He used to live with family members outside the GTA, but said they were facing health battles and he didn’t want to add to their stress. So he made the choice to leave without a place to land.

    "One shelter in Halton turned him away for lack of room, he said. Some nights, he sleeps at GO stations in Burlington and Oakville. Asked if he’d looked for shelter in Toronto, Watt said he worried about having his possessions stolen.

    " 'I’ll be honest with you, shelters are even worse than being on the streets sometimes,' he said."

  8. Five Real Life Examples of #Solarpunk?

    On this post, I wanted to share some potential real life examples of solarpunk to help get you inspired, and to show that these ideas are potentially possible in real life if we dare to dream big.

    by JBJWrites, April 23, 2025

    "Continuing with our Earth Month theme, I’m back to talk more about the genre/movement our world desperately needs—Solarpunk! A genre which depicts humanity, nature, and technology living in harmony. To learn more about the genre itself, check out my Solarpunk Worldbuilding Guide.

    On this post, I wanted to share some potential real life examples of solarpunk to help get you inspired, and to show that these ideas are potentially possible in real life if we dare to dream big. However, let there be emphasis on the word potential and the fact that I used a question mark in the title.

    Caveat: By sharing these examples, I’m not claiming they are 100% representative of solarpunk values. Indeed we still live in a world dominated by late stage capitalism, so there are most likely flaws in these examples, as they are part of an inherently flawed system. Yet I still decided to share these because they are an example of attempts to go in a solarpunk direction.

    I’m also not claiming these are the only examples. If you can think of some better ones, please let me know in the comments."

  10. Tenho um fraquito pelo universo das Tiny Houses e sigo canais de youtube só com este conteúdo.

    Fiquei surpreendido por haver já empresas em Portugal de razoável dimensão dedicadas ao fabrico (no exemplo baixo gerida de imigrantes brasileiros, muitos deles com bom espírito empreendedor).

    A qualidade é bastante boa e os projetos muito personalizáveis.

    Preços a partir de 45 mil euros

  16. #AtlantaGeorgia rethinks clearing #HomelessCamps after a man is crushed inside his tent

    By JEFF MARTIN
    Updated 3:39 PM EST, January 31, 2025

    ATLANTA (AP) — "Atlanta leaders are reconsidering how they dismantle homeless camps after a man was crushed inside a tent as a bulldozer destroyed makeshift homes in preparation for Martin Luther King Jr. holiday events.

    "Cornelius Taylor was living in the camp a few blocks from Ebenezer Baptist Church, the King family’s congregation, where dignitaries gather for each year’s commemorative service. A march was held from downtown to the church that same weekend.

    "Now, Taylor’s family is planning a Monday funeral at the same historic church, and then a horse-drawn carriage will carry his coffin to City Hall so that people there 'can see who they killed,' said his sister, Darlene Chaney.

    "The U.S. Supreme Court [#SCOTUS] ruled last year that cities across the country can enforce bans on homeless camping. But clearing the camps — as #NewOrleans did ahead of Taylor Swift’s concerts there — remains controversial."

    tiny houses / tiny homes hakusanalla löytyy netistä ties mitä ihanaa, #tinyHouses ei mastossa kyllä näemmä näy.

    mä näen itse noissa paljon potentiaalia, MUTTA freimauksen pitäis olla ekologinen kans. ja uskon että minitalopihapiireillä voisi olla myös hyviä yhteisöllisiä vaikutuksia. ei seinänaapureita, mutt kuitenkin vähän sellasta kylämenoa.

    Huldufólk - The hidden people In Icelandic folklore, the Huldufólk (meaning hidden people) are often compared to elves. These mystical beings are believed to closely resemble humans and dwell in little houses nestled within the rocks. Although typically concealed from human view, a select few individuals are considered privileged enough to witness the Huldufólk. Faroese folk tales describe the hidden people as large in build, with grey clothing and black hair. They reside in mounds and […]

  26. Die #taz hat ausgerechnet, wieviel Platz in #Hamburg bis 2030 frei wird, wenn der Anteil des Autos an den zurückgelegten Wegen weiter so schrumpft, wie in den vergangenen Jahren: 2,75 Mio. m². So könnte die Fläche von

    👉 13% der #Parkhäuser und #Parkplätze
    👉 27% der Tankstellen
    👉 15-20% der Hauptstraßen

    für andere Zwecke verwendet werden. Die taz hat einige Beispiele und Vorschläge für Umwidmungen gesammelt:

    👉 Der Berliner Kita-Täger INA.KINDER.GARTEN hat ein Parkhaus in eine Kita umbauen lassen
    👉 Die Hamburger Landschaftsarchitektin Sabine Rabe schlägt vor, #Fahrspuren in Parks umzuwandeln
    👉 Architekt Van Bo Le-Mentzel stellt auf freigewordenen Parkplätzen mobile #TinyHouses für Wohnungslose auf
    👉 Die "Freie Internationale Tankstelle" (FIT) von Dida Zende dient nicht mehr zum Tanken, sondern als Raum für Kunstprojekte, Zusammenkünfte, Feiern und #UrbanGardening
