For 7 years I used a hammock and a tarp. Then added a hunting blind for office space. Then I got a pop-up ice fishing shelter with enough space for both office and sleeping on a cot. I've been using the ice fishing shelter since last year.

Tiny house movement started out affordable. Then greenies took over. Now tiny houses are very high without land. Cheaper to just buy an old house with land & fix it up. God bless.

@@maryvaughn7886 You have a head start with your land. Most that buy these places have to rent or buy land to put home on. You might find a RV trailer that you could use. Hope you can find something that suits you & is in your price range. God bless.
Underground houses are pretty interesting too! Safer from Tornadoes, stay warm in the winter, and cool in the summer! Built into the side of an earthen hill!
I've always thought the US need to build homes that are built to better withstand the tornados, ie most in ground, circular etc. Surely in this day & ages big, squarisg houses don't work in some cases?
I loved the dome houses, they look perfect for one person to live comfortable. It would be nice to see those everywhere for those who can only afford very low cost.
The lifestyle that follows will not be cute. They will crap on your lawn, shoot drugs on your sidewalks and accumulate a vileness and atmosphere unimaginable. I hope the government sets a “ cute little bum housing area up in front of your home. Whiny bleeding hearts need a dose of the real world.
@@michaelangelo7511 The counties used to have poor houses on the outskirts of town. Put the houses out in the back 40. We can't have them in town living like they are. I dont mind some tax money spent on housing. However, you are correct, they need to be in their own area.
@@boudiccaq150 I am an ordinary guy and the problem is vastly complicated. We have government officials all making hundreds of thousands of dollars per year a d they have free financial access to the greatest minds in the country. Where the hell are they? It is a sad problem but just selecting random places to put up the mentally ill, drug addicts, criminals and a small fraction of legitimately homeless never in THEIR neighborhood is blasphemous.
This is a temporary fix for those who have lost their homes. House-lessness is a different problem entirely. Not just a roof over the head but they need an infrastructure where mental hygiene can be supported. The U.S. treats its mentally ill like dog crap.
We've never recovered from the Ridiculous Reagan administration. Mental health patients are criminalized and or shot by the police. The "services" they do receive are useless.
Love the domes! Always admired yurts & they are a sturdier more mobile version. Being alone now with exception of a large dog makes these more appealing.
@isaiah35:4🧔 these are real nice and warm & cozy,, but are to much MONEY 💰💰💰💰 I would rather build a nice log cabin with that money 💰💰 and No they are Not Closterphobic, just to much money 💰💰. Have a good day
Yeah but can they convince any homeless person to actually live in one. Probably not they already have opportunities to be sheltered they choose not to mainly bc of not being allowed to do drugs. Since you will be housing families in these I assume the no drug policy would also apply.
The best prefab shelter in this list is at 7:43 called Pallet Shelter: many units can be shipped on one big rig truck, easy to setup, made of aluminum and strong composite walls, has bottom flooring, has windows, units can house two or four beds, cost is under $10K per unit, and built with a key locking door.
The dome is an excellent idea. May this company expand and prosper so that the costs are minimalized so that retail prices are kept affordable to the common people. Socially protective groups must become aware of the potential for good that these domes represent.
Do you prefer any particular style of dome especially when I say style as far as material used to create the basic geodesic shape I mean there's so many ways that I've seen these units go together I've even seen people use scrap lumber and bending machines with scrap pipe cut to 4 in length and create a way to just use nominal and minimal materials I don't know there's really some serious potential for the future of this shape being that it really does not need any framing it can withstand amazing wind speeds tremendous downward pressures Buckminster Fuller really created something that will hopefully last far into the future
@@arlenmargolin4868 Not the person this question was intended for, but I am considering one of these domes from Domespaces (Florida). I have also purchased plans for wood models with and without hub connectors. The biggest holdup, for me, is that I want to visit a completed model of the fiberglass model in the video. The second issue is that you need to caulk around the panels when putting them up and probably need the insulation package. My ideal setup would be a large dome using the post/wood with wood panels covered outside with stucco. Inside take 3/4ths of the dome and place a self supporting home within the dome that has no roof, no insulation, and uses thin walls. Most likely two stories. The square rooms in the internal structure would fit the traditional expectations and you could cool/heat the dome and the internal "house" could just open windows to moderate temperature. Light could be pointed to the dome to provide ambient light and the extra space in the 1/4th of the dome unoccupied could be decorated with fake grass, trees, and made to feel comforting. I could even see hanging a hammock in the fake front yard. :-)
I am going to share this with a group that is looking to create intentional, off-grid communities. My mother studied with R. Buckminster Fuller and I learned about domes 50 years ago. Always wanted one!
This has been an obsession of mine for years. I've built my own home a few times, they're always small and temporary, and each time they get more dialed in. I'm currently living in a great, normal home, but I crave the era of my life when I was young and broke, trying to stay warm while starting a farm on raw empty land. There has to be cheaper options that are more durable than has been provided by these large corporations. I can make greenhouses that are 8x10+ that cost less than $100, and it would be very simple to sheath roofing onto the hoop frame, and even prevent the need to screw it down by throwing ratchet straps over the top to cinch it to the flooring, adding even more structural support during winds. My current design is essentially an A frame, but the peak is reduced down to minimum headspace for a 6'2" person so they can occupy 80% of the floorspace without hitting their head. This would provide the A frame structural surperiority, but also have the top gamble roof be a cap to lock it all into place. My design specification is that it can be made with all off the shelf materials, and then broken down into panels to fit in the back of a small truck, and weigh as little as possible, but not have any plastic exposed to the interior for air quality. I'm achieving most of these parameters with aluminum flashing and 1/2" cedar picket board. I wish I had access to manufacturing of custom panels like IKEA does, that'd make things easier.
I’ve been looking at the housing innovations for a while, including the tiny house movement, container homes, homeless shelters, and Vanlife. What I usually see is municipal bylaws who try their hardest to outlaw any humanitarian efforts to house the homeless. If you build it, the NIMBYS won’t let you put it anywhere.
That is a huge problem (not being able to place tiny or non-standard houses in most areas), but people aren’t being just being anti-homeless or against low cost options. The NIMBY’s have some genuine concerns…imagine if you stretch to buy a house for 300k because it was in a good area for kids , then down the road someone builds a power plant with lots of overhead lines, or a hog farm, or a tent -yurt city. Even if totally open minded about it, these will knock 50 to 100 k off the re-sale value of your house, which many needing their house appreciation to pay for much of their retirement, kids college, etc. I don’t have an easy answers for this, but think the tiny houses in particular will be more and more common over time?
@@praiseyah3 'I think it's sad that living in America, one cannot use or have a house/shelter anywhere they like." are you kidding?! On the grounds of the White House? In the middle of Central Park?
At 3:50 the tent like structure lasting only three years should be banned. The amount of materials used for such a short length of time is an eco disaster. Another point is that I have listened to the prices. I live in a used 29ft holiday trailer and paid only $1800.00 for it. With upgrades I am into it for almost $4000.00 but have lived in it for over 4 years now. I have double the square feet as the shelter at 9:50 of the video, for a fraction of the price. These seem OK, but understand I have a bathroom, fridge and stove, oven, deep freeze, air conditioner, and mega windows including a great picture window, with a rewired 90 amps of power, all in the $4000.00 price mentioned, and live in a serviced year round RV lot. This is more cheap and convenient as I have propane, 110V electrical and 12 Volt, and winter pack all for a fraction of the cost of these setups. I even have hardwood maple as cabinets. I also have an awning for outdoor shade. I am sitting in it now in front of my 65 inch 4K tv writing this post.
Yep, nothing like a used trailer. My old trailers have paid for them selves many times over by staying on public land when doing job contract work. So much less than a motel if staying for several months.
Hi , I bought a $1800. double wide mobile. Fixed it up ,rented rooms to friends we all worked on it. Now we all live cheap. I live free ,I'm the landlady . Including mobile $5000.
ok people do any of u professionally ship used mobile homes and RVs into WAR ZONES and do so in HUGE numbers ? and bring in utility infrastructure ? it aint cheap. ikea is a good set up for a real bad situation. if u cant bring in the paved roads city plumbing/sewage/electric grid etc IN ADDITION TO USED RVs in LARGE NUMBERS , maybe pipe down a little.
@@jeepsanddragons Regular campers can be light and efficient for what you're talking about. They were used in New Orleans area after Hurricane Katrina. Easily portable and a great market for reselling later.
At coastal areas like Seattle, Portland, Los Angeles, how about decommissioned cruise ship be a place for homeless. All that is needed are there. Bathrooms ,etc . These are for those who want to be helped.no drugs. They must keep the place clean & not horded with crap. Have job training too set up. The cruise ship can be docked in a shipping area not used ,if any are opened out of the way of busy porting of course. Just a thought.
I love your idea! You are tight, it has job training facilities, housing and even money making opportunities all attached to it., So many ways this could be utilized!
Seattle and L A are building high rise condos using covid money to house the homeless. Soon they will be run down slums. Billions of dollars could be saved using these kinds of dwellings. No society has ever thrived when half the population is supported by the working half. Some smart person said that a long time ago. They were right and we are fast approaching that situation. Stop it or the country fails.
Impressive, this makes me so happy. Finally, affordable options for the homeless, for camps that get people off the street and to begin to build a life. Refugee shelters also that are easier to ship and set up. These are innovative and spectacular!
Haiti is living in hell and has been for a long time since the last big shake. and the u.n. baby raping so-called soldiers got caught on the act and thousands more reports .its enough already those folks need real help but id say the need to migrate that region is prone to do bad shit I feel for them I know what it is to be hungry and homeless, been there
No it's not, the dome shelter parts are odd shaped and difficult to ship to location which require a big rig to transport one or two units, plus there are no interior walls to separate areas, and requires extra flooring to level the structure... this not practical to cheaply and quickly setup for many refugees or homeless people.
The Mayor of Los Angeles needs to look into this. Like any shelter have some people watch and facilitate with case management while and teach them to keep clean again with the means to do so. Much better than having them laying in trash in the streets. It should be done to look neat and provide the needs for the homeless till they can do better. By the way every Mayor should look into it. This is Beth's brother.
But, They need to want to be off of the street's. I've spoken to some younger people and also some older adults as well that had been going through home Lessness. But, that had also been long before Covid-19. Some younger, Run aways, some abused by a father or step parent and acouple brother and sister, Parent's passed away in a automobile accident.. There are some real situations out there, that should not be necessarily. People on drug's and not wanting to follow clean and sober guide line's that some shelter's stipulate. One couple with a pitbull did not have a Service Animal and did'nt want to go into a shelter because couple did not want to loose pet nor be split up.. I advocated to young people, as too consider not doing drug's any longer. Too much negatively and worse related to that life style. Older single women out there now also living alone on these streets of Portland, Oregon. And I feel for them. Thanks for the comments from all.

I watched some firefighters and police officers build a playground this summer. They spent so much time trying to figure who would be the boss and how to read and follow directions. I could see a similar situation happening with these shelters. 😆
I've been looking at tiny house options for a while, and have always thought "I could live happily in one of thees, but why are they so expensive? I could spend 50% more and buy a mobile home that's 3 times as large." Is something really minimalist if it isn't cost efficient? I'm going to need to give some of these shelters a closer look.
We had a modular building system in Nampa Idaho and they desided to move to Colorado ... but they were the same concept to make shelters for places that suffer from floods and fires..!!
Looks fantastic on film in the right place but I've seen one of those structures in the city and it's a different story the problem is the homeless people throw trash everywhere and harass businesses because we aren't enforcing laws. A very nice tent will do the same job but the problem is very different. But I tell you this I'm thrilled to see people trying . I've been homeless myself so I might not be qualified to give the opinion.
You're more than qualified since you've been homeless yourself. I was also homeless for several years after losing my home and property after my Mom passed away, and one of these would have been great to call home, until I found the apartment I live in now.
hell i couldn't swing it at that price as is I admitted it but there's a shit ton of stuff that goes to landfills that's new or nearly new there are tons of cheap little lots all over America this illustrates what could be done with that otherwise material it would kill many birds with one stone simply put it don't have to cost that much with a little sweet equity that's the only reason I entertained it

The dome is garbage... difficult to transport one unit to a location cause of odd shape design, hard to setup, require special designed flooring to support structure, has no separating walls or shelving, no holes to attach HVAC unit or plumbing, and costs way too much for poor people. The best was Pallet Shelter which 30 units can be transported on one big rig truck, built of durable aluminum frame and composite wall material, easily setup by two or three people, has shelving and bed built into design, HVAC unit can be installed, comes with bottom flooring, has a locking door, and both small and large units cost under 10K.
Buckminster Fuller cane up with the idea for Geodesic Domes! They are very sturdy and can withstand strong winds! There is a town in the Mid-West named GREENSBURG! It was basically destroyed by a huge tornado. The people returned and decided it might be smart to rebuild using GREEN technology! They did! More places in the USA needs to do likewise!
I like the domes. There was a company that manufactured dome houses. I always wished. I am able to afford an agricultural land for my sister where we can have dome houses running on solar polar with its own water well and waste recycling system. And her own garden indoor hydroponic gardening. Then she can run her own animal shelter.She is currently,homeless living in her car , unemployed and has a mental disability.
Excellent presentation because companies, prices, lifespan, and sizes are clearly specified. I would like to point out that all these innovative products are STRUCTURES. They are not "solutions", except to those who love corporate-speak.

@@ytSuns26 Good Comment for thought. There will be people doing this in one group after another if it was legal. I thought farms need to make invites...they won't because everyone is still on the money and people love land all around them with private property....They use these sized shelters at refugee camps for years but maybe not so nice of one's. Military probably could use them if it was cheaper. They love to pack up and go leaving land and buildings empty and abandoned. Obviously anything valuable is underground. People would rather pile up storage containers for strength....Really, people need underground shelters with taller air vents. Tornadoes, floods, fires, all need consideration. Not much money around means fire department not necessarily going to show up but they protect rich neighborhoods and crowded neighborhoods in cities. The more people nearby, the more they show up to fight a fire....For the most part all this is very temporary shelter, probably for after a battle or other issue where short term temporary shelter is needed.
@@ouivalerie I mean farms need land to produce food, unless you want the people who feed our entire nation to just suddenly stop what they are doing. You should talk to the landlords of houses and apartments that have been sitting empty for months because how high they set the rent, at it’s worst in NYC and LA. There are literally more empty houses, apartments, hotel rooms etc. than there are homeless people. We could solve the homelessness crisis but I agree it’s all about money and it’s sickening. I hope I can be in a situation in the future to start a community with shelters like this.
@@Jenny-tm3cm The corruption of thinking a few farmers are the big the food growers for mass agriculture when people should all be growing something comes out of deliberately stopping people from working with plants themselves which is critical.

Hello to you, my name is Pamela Cox and I am a peer in Fort St. John BC Canada. I have been looking for a solution for our homeless community. Being that we live in Northern British Columbia we can get cold fast. Is there any thing that you have for our climate zone?? As we are a volunteer group we rely on public support. So cost effectiveness. Needs to be a priority. Thank you for any suggestions.
Hi. Fort St. John, that's quite north looking on the map. In those conditions heavy insulation would be required. Check out video part 2 I did on shelters. Not sure what you guys had in mind. Something larger - dormitory style or perhaps smaller pods suitable for 1 or 2 people. There are couple of companies I haven't featured yet. One is WeatherPort Shelter Systems, more geared towards commercial applications. Other is www.iglou.world/en/, which is basically very simple insulated sleeping pod that prevents frostbites, hyphotermia, and freezing to death. I would also suggest working with local authorities to see what they can do.
@@pamelaromanow9686 Hi, I'm not affiliated with any of the companies featured in my videos and am not an expert on housing. I just make videos. I would suggest checking what solutions had already been done in similar areas. Another company making homeless living units - www.bosscubez.com/. If you search Homeless Tiny Homes on youtube there are plenty of videos of tiny homes homeless communities/shelters. Not sure how they get units, I'll need to do a bit more research.
It's a good alternative for people whos houses are undergoing renovation... or experienced storm damage..... For the homeless, you have good intentions, but this is not the best solution. When many homeless shelters are grouped together, you're just making slum neighborhoods.... A better solution is to provide the homeless who can drive - vehicles... Vehicles where they can sleep in, and also move in.... Sometimes all that a person needs is mobility. It can make all the difference. The government(s) will have to get involved - for licensing, insurance, a weekly gas allowance, and vehicle maintenance.
@@zeusapollo8688 - Then they would in 1-2 months turn into mice / cockroach / bedbug infested ghettos... Not good to group them togther... See any inner-city project for details.
In the states, a big problem is the local government restrictions on types of housing allowed. Yurts have been used for centuries in other countries, are affordable, and would provide shelters for homeless, but even with donated land, these are not allowed in almost all locations. This channel has great, innovative and humanitarian ideals.. Now, if those in power would just open up to these solutions.
Hopefully with these type of new innovations we can curb the homelessness issues that plague many countries... If governments and wealthy people do Thier part we can end poverty for good 👍🙏🙌🤘
@@retrotek0409 that was last week, they are actually crashing, next week, who knows forest fires are at historic lows, I would guess at price manipulation by lumber mills and crazy demand fluctuations
@@cheekypiper512 I can understand what desperation is about. But the fact remains that at least half of the homeless are people who are on drugs or mentally ill. I agree that we need more affordable housing for people who are having a rough time through no fault of their own. But we will NEVER eradicate all homelessness because you are not going to change some people.
Governments around the world should set these up for the Elderly homeless communities, Rehab shelters, Homeless Families, etc. No one should be homeless.
There are so many cost effective ways to provide housing to people in need. Most of the above are glorified tents., With the exception of the dome. I ve seen foldable houses, recycled material houses, printed houses, you mean to tell me that with all the genius minds in this country, the cities can't fork up big lots to house people and get them off the streets? We have multitudes living in their vehicles because they cannot afford decent housing. I bet without all the corruption there could be for example 450 sq. Or 600 SQ ft houses that look good and make people have a safe place to live so we can end homelessness once and for all. When folks actually see their tax money go to work in stead of being squandered by crooked politicians with their endless red tape, we can finally get somewhere.
Can't remember what city but saw video where there was a community of homeless and elderly that lived is small homes.They had to pay small amount of rent.It was set up as a community that all had to keep clean and they could put their own stamp on their homes.The people who lived there seemed to be content. The money helped to support the project and for possible new land.The people were screened carefully so as to keep it a healthy neighborhood.
One of these companies said that they existed since 1996. We’ve had plenty of natural disasters and other emergencies where shelters are needed. It would’ve been great and probably less expensive if FEMA had contracted to obtain some of these easy to erect units than purchasing countless trailers that states somehow decided to not use. These should be immediately available during emergencies and also to the homeless in a controlled environment.
Imagine bunking in a garden shed with a stranger, one whom might be adverse to sharing as well. No, this is not a solution. Safety built, SAE approved tiny homes with plumbing, sewage and electrical hook ups are what are needed!! Proper houses. Land ownership and building regulations have to be addressed to accommodate these tiny homes, for permanent residency!! People are being evicted because of money situations and when they go to rent again, up goes the market rent!! No, transitional shelters are not what's needed.
I agree with everything u said but the land ownership there's plenty of honest hardworking Americans who don't own land or can't completely afford. It shouldn't be given away for free to those who aren't contributing to society. Sorry but I don't agree with just giving. Sets bad precedent and some feel why work when it can be given to me
What the us government should do is convert the old b17 b24 and b52 bombers into housing units for homeless veterans that would be great and not only that take care of the military equipment on those abandon sites also have the military give them a living wage

@Benji Neice taken your point would be nice however I remember reading during the pandemic last year they put homeless up in hotels an they found a meth lab in one of the rooms. I believe everything is a choice in life an we all make our choices. Vets made a choice to fight for this country so drug addicts can get high. However to come back to nothing but flashback of war is a drug of it's own. An they got no help back in the day. I had a hernia repair and the doctor prescribed oxycodone 5mg. After what I heard about people hooked on oxy I never took them. Again it's all a choice an once YOU choose you can't/ shouldn't blame others for the outcome.
@Benji Neice lol@coffee addicts. You're comparing apples to oranges. If coffee makes you beg on the corner. Sleep with random people for that next fix of cup of joe. If coffee has you breaking into homes or robbing family and friends again for a cup of coffee then no you shouldn't be help or at least be last on the list for help.
Never owned property! " How can you own the land the people walk on?" Chief Crazy Horse Lakota Warrior / He fought at the battle of Little Big Horn! Not everyone wants to own property! As my father used to say "You don't own a house. A house owns you!" LOL! I agreed with him! His houses took a lot of his time and energy! Just saying!
Private property is the foundation of a sound economic system . Public lands no problem , but only a portion of the available resource. The mist common phrase repeated in societies where private property is denied . “ we pretend to work and the government pretends to pay us” no one cares, no one strives, no one makes the extra effort. Eventually everything collapses, life expectancy shrivels. Some people don’t succeed , some don’t make it , that’s life!

I kinda want that 2nd dome for my back yard.
Great idea. Why arent we using the domes your yurts as homeless shelters. Would be more cost effective.
@isaiah35:4🧔 these are real nice and warm & cozy,, but are to much MONEY 💰💰💰💰 I would rather build a nice log cabin with that money 💰💰 and No they are Not Closterphobic, just to much money 💰💰. Have a good day
Totally amazing! So many intelligent people out there with fantastic ideas for supplying shelter! Kudos to ALL!
Yeah but can they convince any homeless person to actually live in one. Probably not they already have opportunities to be sheltered they choose not to mainly bc of not being allowed to do drugs. Since you will be housing families in these I assume the no drug policy would also apply.
Yet somehow nobody ever actually succeeds..
The best prefab shelter in this list is at 7:43 called Pallet Shelter: many units can be shipped on one big rig truck, easy to setup, made of aluminum and strong composite walls, has bottom flooring, has windows, units can house two or four beds, cost is under $10K per unit, and built with a key locking door.
Those are garden sheds!!!
@@janinewetzler5037 lol when they give the garden shed a fancy name they can charge $10k. 😂😂😂
Crappy things leak first time it rains. Total crap had to discontinue use at our micro shelter site and buy decent ones
This is ridiculous. The costs for this could easily exceed $100,000. Even for just the ground to put on.
The dome is an excellent idea. May this company expand and prosper so that the costs are minimalized so that retail prices are kept affordable to the common people. Socially protective groups must become aware of the potential for good that these domes represent.
Do you prefer any particular style of dome especially when I say style as far as material used to create the basic geodesic shape I mean there's so many ways that I've seen these units go together I've even seen people use scrap lumber and bending machines with scrap pipe cut to 4 in length and create a way to just use nominal and minimal materials I don't know there's really some serious potential for the future of this shape being that it really does not need any framing it can withstand amazing wind speeds tremendous downward pressures Buckminster Fuller really created something that will hopefully last far into the future
@@arlenmargolin4868 Not the person this question was intended for, but I am considering one of these domes from Domespaces (Florida). I have also purchased plans for wood models with and without hub connectors. The biggest holdup, for me, is that I want to visit a completed model of the fiberglass model in the video. The second issue is that you need to caulk around the panels when putting them up and probably need the insulation package.
My ideal setup would be a large dome using the post/wood with wood panels covered outside with stucco. Inside take 3/4ths of the dome and place a self supporting home within the dome that has no roof, no insulation, and uses thin walls. Most likely two stories. The square rooms in the internal structure would fit the traditional expectations and you could cool/heat the dome and the internal "house" could just open windows to moderate temperature. Light could be pointed to the dome to provide ambient light and the extra space in the 1/4th of the dome unoccupied could be decorated with fake grass, trees, and made to feel comforting.
I could even see hanging a hammock in the fake front yard. :-)
This is just a PR stunt by grifters.

I am going to share this with a group that is looking to create intentional, off-grid communities. My mother studied with R. Buckminster Fuller and I learned about domes 50 years ago. Always wanted one!
I want one too
Those are great..I say that as a homeless person living in my pos van..shame most states n towns won't let you place them anywhere..
A garden shed, you have to share ?!? How 'bout a permanent home solution ?
I’m also in my van. Any one of these solutions would be better. At least I could stand up.
This has been an obsession of mine for years. I've built my own home a few times, they're always small and temporary, and each time they get more dialed in. I'm currently living in a great, normal home, but I crave the era of my life when I was young and broke, trying to stay warm while starting a farm on raw empty land. There has to be cheaper options that are more durable than has been provided by these large corporations. I can make greenhouses that are 8x10+ that cost less than $100, and it would be very simple to sheath roofing onto the hoop frame, and even prevent the need to screw it down by throwing ratchet straps over the top to cinch it to the flooring, adding even more structural support during winds.
My current design is essentially an A frame, but the peak is reduced down to minimum headspace for a 6'2" person so they can occupy 80% of the floorspace without hitting their head. This would provide the A frame structural surperiority, but also have the top gamble roof be a cap to lock it all into place. My design specification is that it can be made with all off the shelf materials, and then broken down into panels to fit in the back of a small truck, and weigh as little as possible, but not have any plastic exposed to the interior for air quality. I'm achieving most of these parameters with aluminum flashing and 1/2" cedar picket board. I wish I had access to manufacturing of custom panels like IKEA does, that'd make things easier.
Check with invention companies, just be sure you have a patten in place!!!
This is so much better than living in an apartment with neighbors sharing a common wall.
Many of these you have to share bathrooms, so is a no no to me.
I’ve been looking at the housing innovations for a while, including the tiny house movement, container homes, homeless shelters, and Vanlife. What I usually see is municipal bylaws who try their hardest to outlaw any humanitarian efforts to house the homeless. If you build it, the NIMBYS won’t let you put it anywhere.
That is a huge problem (not being able to place tiny or non-standard houses in most areas), but people aren’t being just being anti-homeless or against low cost options. The NIMBY’s have some genuine concerns…imagine if you stretch to buy a house for 300k because it was in a good area for kids , then down the road someone builds a power plant with lots of overhead lines, or a hog farm, or a tent -yurt city. Even if totally open minded about it, these will knock 50 to 100 k off the re-sale value of your house, which many needing their house appreciation to pay for much of their retirement, kids college, etc. I don’t have an easy answers for this, but think the tiny houses in particular will be more and more common over time?

At 3:50 the tent like structure lasting only three years should be banned. The amount of materials used for such a short length of time is an eco disaster. Another point is that I have listened to the prices. I live in a used 29ft holiday trailer and paid only $1800.00 for it. With upgrades I am into it for almost $4000.00 but have lived in it for over 4 years now. I have double the square feet as the shelter at 9:50 of the video, for a fraction of the price. These seem OK, but understand I have a bathroom, fridge and stove, oven, deep freeze, air conditioner, and mega windows including a great picture window, with a rewired 90 amps of power, all in the $4000.00 price mentioned, and live in a serviced year round RV lot. This is more cheap and convenient as I have propane, 110V electrical and 12 Volt, and winter pack all for a fraction of the cost of these setups. I even have hardwood maple as cabinets. I also have an awning for outdoor shade. I am sitting in it now in front of my 65 inch 4K tv writing this post.
Yep, nothing like a used trailer. My old trailers have paid for them selves many times over by staying on public land when doing job contract work. So much less than a motel if staying for several months.

@@jeepsanddragons Regular campers can be light and efficient for what you're talking about. They were used in New Orleans area after Hurricane Katrina. Easily portable and a great market for reselling later.

The cruise ship can be docked in a shipping area not used ,if any are opened out of the way of busy porting of course. Just a thought.
In theory that sounds good.
In practice, I’m afraid, it would be horrifying.
I love your idea! You are tight, it has job training facilities, housing and even money making opportunities all attached to it., So many ways this could be utilized!
Seattle and L A are building high rise condos using covid money to house the homeless. Soon they will be run down slums. Billions of dollars could be saved using these kinds of dwellings. No society has ever thrived when half the population is supported by the working half. Some smart person said that a long time ago. They were right and we are fast approaching that situation. Stop it or the country fails.
Impressive, this makes me so happy. Finally, affordable options for the homeless, for camps that get people off the street and to begin to build a life. Refugee shelters also that are easier to ship and set up. These are innovative and spectacular!

The Dome shelter is most practical and can be used for personal off grid getaways. Good Presentation 😎👍
No it's not, the dome shelter parts are odd shaped and difficult to ship to location which require a big rig to transport one or two units, plus there are no interior walls to separate areas, and requires extra flooring to level the structure... this not practical to cheaply and quickly setup for many refugees or homeless people.
The Mayor of Los Angeles needs to look into this. Like any shelter have some people watch and facilitate with case management while and teach them to keep clean again with the means to do so. Much better than having them laying in trash in the streets. It should be done to look neat and provide the needs for the homeless till they can do better. By the way every Mayor should look into it. This is Beth's brother.

There are some real situations out there, that should not be necessarily. People on drug's and not wanting to follow clean and sober guide line's that some shelter's stipulate. One couple with a pitbull did not have a Service Animal and did'nt want to go into a shelter because couple did not want to loose pet nor be split up..

I watched some firefighters and police officers build a playground this summer. They spent so much time trying to figure who would be the boss and how to read and follow directions. I could see a similar situation happening with these shelters. 😆
I've been looking at tiny house options for a while, and have always thought "I could live happily in one of thees, but why are they so expensive? I could spend 50% more and buy a mobile home that's 3 times as large." Is something really minimalist if it isn't cost efficient?
I'm going to need to give some of these shelters a closer look.
THE DOME ONE WAS THE BOMB!!!
I’d like, love, to see a company offer something like these at, or just above, cost.
That's called a charity. A company needs to make a profit to exist.
We had a modular building system in Nampa Idaho and they desided to move to Colorado ... but they were the same concept to make shelters for places that suffer from floods and fires..!!
Looks fantastic on film in the right place but I've seen one of those structures in the city and it's a different story the problem is the homeless people throw trash everywhere and harass businesses because we aren't enforcing laws. A very nice tent will do the same job but the problem is very different. But I tell you this I'm thrilled to see people trying . I've been homeless myself so I might not be qualified to give the opinion.
You're more than qualified since you've been homeless yourself.
I was also homeless for several years after losing my home and property after my Mom passed away, and one of these would have been great to call home, until I found the apartment I live in now.

Buckminster Fuller cane up with the idea for Geodesic Domes! They are very sturdy and can withstand strong winds! There is a town in the Mid-West named GREENSBURG! It was basically destroyed by a huge tornado. The people returned and decided it might be smart to rebuild using GREEN technology! They did! More places in the USA needs to do likewise!

@@ytSuns26 Good Comment for thought. There will be people doing this in one group after another if it was legal. I thought farms need to make invites...they won't because everyone is still on the money and people love land all around them with private property....They use these sized shelters at refugee camps for years but maybe not so nice of one's. Military probably could use them if it was cheaper. They love to pack up and go leaving land and buildings empty and abandoned. Obviously anything valuable is underground. People would rather pile up storage containers for strength....Really, people need underground shelters with taller air vents. Tornadoes, floods, fires, all need consideration. Not much money around means fire department not necessarily going to show up but they protect rich neighborhoods and crowded neighborhoods in cities. The more people nearby, the more they show up to fight a fire....For the most part all this is very temporary shelter, probably for after a battle or other issue where short term temporary shelter is needed.
@@ouivalerie I mean farms need land to produce food, unless you want the people who feed our entire nation to just suddenly stop what they are doing.

There are literally more empty houses, apartments, hotel rooms etc. than there are homeless people. We could solve the homelessness crisis but I agree it’s all about money and it’s sickening.

Hi. Fort St. John, that's quite north looking on the map. In those conditions heavy insulation would be required. Check out video part 2 I did on shelters. Not sure what you guys had in mind.

One is WeatherPort Shelter Systems, more geared towards commercial applications.

It's a good alternative for people whos houses are undergoing renovation... or experienced storm damage..... For the homeless, you have good intentions, but this is not the best solution. When many homeless shelters are grouped together, you're just making slum neighborhoods.... A better solution is to provide the homeless who can drive - vehicles... Vehicles where they can sleep in, and also move in.... Sometimes all that a person needs is mobility. It can make all the difference. The government(s) will have to get involved - for licensing, insurance, a weekly gas allowance, and vehicle maintenance.

that was last week, they are actually crashing, next week, who knows
forest fires are at historic lows, I would guess at price manipulation by lumber mills and crazy demand fluctuations
I love the domes
I'd rather have a nice clean RV with WHEELS.
I agree! I just bought a 30 ft. 1951 Spartan camper.
You have a choice. You're entitled and completely missing the point. You don't have a clue what desperation and starvation is all about.
@@cheekypiper512 I can understand what desperation is about. But the fact remains that at least half of the homeless are people who are on drugs or mentally ill. I agree that we need more affordable housing for people who are having a rough time through no fault of their own. But we will NEVER eradicate all homelessness because you are not going to change some people.
@@josephfields42 so Kool! congrads!
@@cheekypiper512 My grandmother used to always say, "If wishes were horses we all would ride"...
These are great ideas……run with this☮️💟
Haiti needs these homes
Governments around the world should set these up for the Elderly homeless communities, Rehab shelters, Homeless Families, etc. No one should be homeless.
Cost? Homeless people could use these#
Hi, I mentioned cost in the video for most of these shelters. For more info, links to companies are in the description.
@@carlroy1865 not the smartest apparently.
How much??
Fabulous solutions!
There are so many cost effective ways to provide housing to people in need. Most of the above are glorified tents., With the exception of the dome. I ve seen foldable houses, recycled material houses, printed houses, you mean to tell me that with all the genius minds in this country, the cities can't fork up big lots to house people and get them off the streets? We have multitudes living in their vehicles because they cannot afford decent housing. I bet without all the corruption there could be for example 450 sq. Or 600 SQ ft houses that look good and make people have a safe place to live so we can end homelessness once and for all. When folks actually see their tax money go to work in stead of being squandered by crooked politicians with their endless red tape, we can finally get somewhere.
Can't remember what city but saw video where there was a community of homeless and elderly that lived is small homes.They had to pay small amount of rent.It was set up as a community that all had to keep clean and they could put their own stamp on their homes.The people who lived there seemed to be content. The money helped to support the project and for possible new land.The people were screened carefully so as to keep it a healthy neighborhood.
When Jesus comes we will finally get good leadership and honest government. Until then, you know . . . greed, corruption.
The yurt is the most genius portable living quarters concept.
One of these companies said that they existed since 1996. We’ve had plenty of natural disasters and other emergencies where shelters are needed. It would’ve been great and probably less expensive if FEMA had contracted to obtain some of these easy to erect units than purchasing countless trailers that states somehow decided to not use. These should be immediately available during emergencies and also to the homeless in a controlled environment.
Wow! That's better than some of these people have lived in before.
Believe it or not some of the homeless 2% were once millionaires
Imagine bunking in a garden shed with a stranger, one whom might be adverse to sharing as well. No, this is not a solution. Safety built, SAE approved tiny homes with plumbing, sewage and electrical hook ups are what are needed!! Proper houses. Land ownership and building regulations have to be addressed to accommodate these tiny homes, for permanent residency!! People are being evicted because of money situations and when they go to rent again, up goes the market rent!! No, transitional shelters are not what's needed.
I agree with everything u said but the land ownership there's plenty of honest hardworking Americans who don't own land or can't completely afford. It shouldn't be given away for free to those who aren't contributing to society. Sorry but I don't agree with just giving. Sets bad precedent and some feel why work when it can be given to me
Very interesting and instructive info. Good to know. Thanks!
All are beautiful and effective , man needs all the help he can get, especially , from God in Christ.
Your god has been on vacation for the last 2000 years ! : )
Looks Interesting. Yes, I would think temporary. Taking a trip cross country, too some Family or friend's home for a week or so ?
This would be great. Our vets that are homeless needs first priority. Drug addicts need not to apply.
What the us government should do is convert the old b17 b24 and b52 bombers into housing units for homeless veterans that would be great and not only that take care of the military equipment on those abandon sites also have the military give them a living wage
@@MrBugman2525 I don't know who the hell you are or where you live but you have got to be the dumbest person in the world if you don't run for governor of your state do you can implement this idea if it can work in your state. 🤣, wonderful wonderful idea I think.
@Benji Neice taken your point would be nice however I remember reading during the pandemic last year they put homeless up in hotels an they found a meth lab in one of the rooms. I believe everything is a choice in life an we all make our choices. Vets made a choice to fight for this country so drug addicts can get high. However to come back to nothing but flashback of war is a drug of it's own. An they got no help back in the day.
I had a hernia repair and the doctor prescribed oxycodone 5mg. After what I heard about people hooked on oxy I never took them. Again it's all a choice an once YOU choose you can't/ shouldn't blame others for the outcome.
@Benji Neice lol@coffee addicts. You're comparing apples to oranges. If coffee makes you beg on the corner. Sleep with random people for that next fix of cup of joe. If coffee has you breaking into homes or robbing family and friends again for a cup of coffee then no you shouldn't be help or at least be last on the list for help.
But many of those vets will also be drug addicts as a result of their circumstances and depression.
lousiana state needs these now for the people stranded without homes
It's sad there's this trend when PROPERTY is supposed to be a USA Citizens Constitutional Right. All USA Citizens should be able to obtain property.
Never owned property! " How can you own the land the people walk on?" Chief Crazy Horse Lakota Warrior / He fought at the battle of Little Big Horn! Not everyone wants to own property! As my father used to say "You don't own a house. A house owns you!" LOL! I agreed with him! His houses took a lot of his time and energy! Just saying!
Ownership LOL that's where all the trouble started. The " American Dream " has many in a choke hold. Feudal times?
Futile efforts?
Private property is the foundation of a sound economic system . Public lands no problem , but only a portion of the available resource. The mist common phrase repeated in societies where private property is denied . “ we pretend to work and the government pretends to pay us” no one cares, no one strives, no one makes the extra effort. Eventually everything collapses, life expectancy shrivels. Some people don’t succeed , some don’t make it , that’s life!
Do you need building permits for this. I am recently homeless and I am looking for cost effective solutions too for -40 weather.
