Homeless man's Cramped alternative to a shelter
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 6 มี.ค. 2019
- One man has come up with a solution to his own homelessness which could be an alternative to those opposed to going to a shelter. It's a portable residence called the Cramper - a cramped camper on wheels
It definitely beats living in a homeless shelter or on the streets
Cant continue to use drugs in a "homeless shelter".
@She-Wolf Absolutely. That was a very rude & presumptuous statement. I back you 100%
@@knunyabeasewhacks8744 did you even watch the video. you must live in a bubble. that guy didn't seem like a druggy. he is try yo survive the best way he can.
Agree! The homeless shelters I've heard about treat people like they aren't human and there is one somewhere that is actually a cult. People don't know it until they get in there.
@@knunyabeasewhacks8744 When you become homeless,Very bad things are going to happen to you.
Everyone deserves a place to rest their head in safety and privacy
Unfortunately we live in Canada! There are more empty homes than homeless people... What a great country!
Not if you dont have a job or hold a job. Homes in Canada sit empty cause they are own buy billionaire foreigners. Not for the homeless.
Exactly well said !!!!!
@@MrMannyhw that's ok because they paid for them and they own them , that's another issue, but has no reference to this , city's need to allow things like this so the homeless can be warm and safe .
Amen
Being able to get warm is HUGE. You can renew yourself if you can get warm and get some sleep.
Who's paying for the outlet he plugged into?
@@grahamstefaan there's ways around an outlet
True,, i still remember many nights shivering violently all night, it ain't no fun
Someone who can afford to be generous, no doubt @@grahamstefaan
I like how it looks like a public utility box or a railroad signal box
make it less likely to be broken into, or have someone complain and call the cops
Exactly! Paint a business logo on the side and it would be very stealth. Few people would question it.
Until you have 100 of them in a row!
Oooo. A business logo. I want something out of a show or game. Like the futurama planet Express logos.
Think of the advertising dollars earned on the side of these shelters .
Remove the wheels and store them inside. Paint it to look like a utilities box.
Any individual who would rather stay in a little "camper" that is at times frosty over a city run shelter, well that speaks volumes about how those shelters really are.
What do you expect? Homeless shelters are filled with homeless people. Aka, mostly mentally ill and drug addicted people.
It's the people not the shelters that are the problem.
People stay up talking all night long, yakking away, very loud and playing their stereos. Great if you get SSI disability or alimony or something every month but if you work and have to get up early to go to a job it's the road to disaster, IS the problem. That was my experience, none of the women needed to work or wanted to work in there and couldn't even comprehend it. Next is there were ladies who had 6 or 7 kids and when they piled on the chores they'd get their chores done in 10 minutes but a woman alone would take her 7 hours to do the same chore and it was unfair. There are some other issues but those 2 stand out for me.
you can't drink or drug in a shelter
@@calebjanus2000 it's the shelters. I've been homeless several times. The shelters are terrible and most people working there treat you like trash.
There are thousands of homeless people that would love that.
and there are MILLIONS of workers that would love them to get a job
When I was homeless in the 1990s I would have absolutely jumped on something like that without a moments' hesitation. The 'official' shelters where I was at the time were exploitative and often dangerous.
@Chill Will Facts a lot of people think someone wants to spend the rest of there life working for a company lol
@@razorman65 and there are BILLIONS of worker that could care less.
@Chill Will fool, I work for a farmer , driving truck and get paid cash much of the year , so joke's on you , good pussie!
Makes me sad that being homeless is even an issue in our country.
Letting a million homeless in the country this yr. Won't make it better.
More empty homes than homeless in Canada... Canadian gvmt should be ashamed... Plus our housing situation prices just raised 25 percent in the last YEAR... I'm not getting the logic of this housing market nor the Government that is looking after our well being..
@@Smokeyone22 That's the problem right there!
You actually think the Government cares for our well being!
If that was even remotely true then we would have people starving and homeless, simple as that.
So what is your solution so you don't have to be sad ?
That's what makes you sad?
I like how he has some ownership over his situation. The soul needs that to be healthy.
God bless him. At least he’s doing something to help himself.
I did not know he spoke about being a Christian. How did you know he was? god in capital and the concept of a god blessing you. Those are christian concepts.

Homelessness is from mental illness..sounds like he is in recovery
For someone to say homelessness is a form of mental illness is very much misinformed. You would be surprised of how many people who are homeless used be doctors,lawyers, this who lost their jobs their homes. God forbid one day you end up there. Has nothing to with mental health. Your circumstances can change in the blink of an eye and if you're not prepared for it this could very well happen.
Dang! Someone hook him up with a solar panel! Great job sir! Everyone wants to feel safe and secure. I’ve been homeless and it really sucks when you don’t know where you’re going to rest your head.
That's a well thought out shelter. Much respect to you Dan.
I was homeless for six years, this I a resourceful idea. I just know in my heart of hearts if more homeless did this the local council would just remove them. I think it's ironic because just tonight I thought if a great idea of a product that can tick all boxes if you find yourself home less. Tonight was the first inception, I've ordered some of the materials and I'm going to make a prototype.
Did you get around to building a prototype Ben? Just curious 😁
Wheres it at ??? Lets see this
He's a minimalist, unlike everyone else.
When you're homeless, it's not really a choice.
Unlike most.. not unlike everyone..
I've been homeless before, twice.. I was an addict n a slow learner it seems
That was 16 yrs ago... Having a stable home has filled me w so much gratitude..
stories like this always touch my heart and hit close to home for me
Bless this man. I hope this leads to future opportunities for him 🙏🏻💗💟
Well done in changing your life around Trace921. When you've been an addict who has reached your rock bottom you appreciate so much more on the way up again. You should be so proud of yourself. Stay strong.

@@tracey921 You are very welcome, sometimes it's nice to get a bit of praise and appreciation for all the work we have done to change our lives around. Staying clean and sober from alcohol or drugs is a very hard battle at times and it's actually exhausting at times. Any praise or kind words can help keep us going for another day.
Glad to hear you turned your life around and got settled.
This is 1000% better than his shelter cause it’s HIS!
Precisely ! - And if you've got a mortgage, your nice house isn't actually yours until you've paid it up.
It's better than a tent or a tarp!
Update:
After a Toronto bidding war it sold for $1.2 million.

And the city was overjoyed as now his property taxes are over $25K per year and the city officials voted themselves a pay increase

Property currently sits vacant. New owner no where to be found and is in arrears on property taxes.

God bless all the homeless people around the world and help them find a solution.
ya mean a job
@@razorman65 a lot of them are mentally ill and cannot hold a job. Those people need mental healthcare and training so they can get a job. However, our economy is not designed for everyone to have a job, there are those who are mentally and physically handicapped who, due to no fault of their own, cannot work. We have thousands of homeless veterans. My daddy was a veteran and between his pension, social security and VA check, he barely got by. Then, when he got a $98 raise on his social security checks, the VA stopped his VA check, because he made $98 per year too much! The US owes these veterans better care.
@@sheliaporter6795 yes, the gov does turn their backs on the veterans which is sickening after their services they gave and yes the truly mentally ill need help at times but when I see a young person too lazy to work and sponge off the system or steal but yet there's a cell phone in their hand
@@razorman65 I do agree with you there! In my area, our homeless population is mostly veterans and mentally ill. I do see some that are either too lazy to work or do not have enough education to get a job, such as high school drop[ outs or those with learning disabilities that didn't get the right help from the schools. For those lacking education but who wants to work or is working but can't afford an apartment, I think they need training programs to give them a hand up, instead of a hand out.
As a city resident I approve! Anything to ease the load on their unfortunate situation!
Did you type this while slurping a Starbucks ?
Nice....you are free to have them build one in your front lawn
@@smzzms2523 They put them in the woods haha! or in a parking lot, behind a dumpster! always alternatives to hiding it so its not an eyesore to the public; as long as they can sleep.
Dont get why people are being salty. Everyone has their own life and needs. If you have a job and can live in an apartment or wherever in the city, who should be angry at you for it. Live the life you can without depleting yourself, it doesnt mean you dont care or dont wish you could help, but if helping someone else, especially financially, would put you in danger of being homeless or lacking yourself, youre not really serving anyone from the heart, more like from an idea that you "have to", its not healthy to deplete all your resources, even when its something "good". It could very well leave you in the same position.
I can 👂 hear the local government telling him he needs a "PERMIT" to build that !!!! lol. I do wish him luck.
Ah, the working class home of the future.

I'm living in a car with a heater and air a 97 this would be too small for me. Some local all night parking lots are letting me park for a night. I try to only stay one night except for our campground. When it warns up I will use a tent part of the time. My situation is difficult to explain. I could rent a room in a house at any time.

*They should make* a community with a ton of these little homes for homeless!💜
Who is they? People like to say, they should but never say who they is.
@@rickgeller6043 *the Govt* 😆
VISUAL The government causes the problem. Gets a reaction (homelessness) then solves the problem they caused in the first place.
Someone did & the city is suing him 🤦🏽♀️ Toronto Tiny Homes is the name
Cities don’t allow them because of red tape. Some young people built and donated some shelters in an article I read and the city took them away because of code violations or something along that line. There has to be a way, but they seem to prefer to have people in traditional homeless shelters due to legalities. If I was homeless I would rather have my own small shelter than stay in a building with a bunch of other people.
After living in a semi truck for years, I can relate to this. He's got a little bit more room than I have though.
I've been in the position that I had to stay in a shelter & this anyone who has been there would love this. I think it's brilliant! 👏👏👏👏👍🙏
I'm doing well financially and I would love to live in something like this. True freedom.
sure you would, get real.
What a great idea! Small enough not to be ' noticeable but large enough to keep the person safe
He’s smart! It’s nice and not cluttered it’s also mobilized! He did a good job I hope they don’t mess with him & make him take it down
Necessity is the mother of all inventions and this man is a winner hope that his next prototype catches on and helps others in his situation. 😆
Good for you Dan. I’d like to see a space in cities where people can have their shelter without worries about being chased off. Something that’s your own to take pride in and be sheltered from the cold
All the vacant properties around and there’s people sleeping outside, it’s just crazy. A little sweat equity makes most people feel a little better and the buildings wouldn’t mind. A warehouse would keep a few people out of the snow and cold.
how many you have sleeping in your kitchen?
Yeah but if they get hurt in the vacant property then someone is liable no?
Being homeless is illegal in many states. Tresspassing is illegal in every state.
@@aaaaaeiou right but I meant re purposing vacant places, letting them rot helps nobody
@@deborahchesser7375 It helps the owners and neighbors because they don't have homeless living there spreading trash, feces, and drug needles everywhere. It may sound harsh, but that is what happens in homeless communities. Pretty sure you wouldn't want that next door. Then, after someone complains, the owner has to pay someone to come in and clean up the place. So yea, there is a reason why vacant places are not used for homeless.
Redefine what basic housing is and You cure alot Homelessness, People need shelter and a safe place
Basic homes with no luxury . It can be small. What else we need.
@@agneslaufer9579 u need toilet and shower

Municipalities only want tax revenues
"Thats illegal" - the city.
What being homeless?
"...yes"
Yes, the city can't tax it, so it's illegal. The city gets more money if the homeless are sleeping and shitting on the sidewalks.

In the depression times there was so many homelss that camping/ homeless was illegal.Groups were hired to raid / beat/ burn/ loot homeless camps.

It's not about skills and talent, it's about privilege. If you're not born into privilege, your not likely to get the credit you deserve. Minimum wage.. It is what it is. Those crying about privilege the most, are usually the Ones who grew up with an incredible amount of privilege, but still think they got it bad and "werked" hard, yada yada yada.. Very twisted..
@@smibiz7039 you create your own reality
@@smibiz7039
Whine. Whine whine. I started out at 35 cents per hour. There is a different minimum wage for those capable of jobs with capability of tip vs businesses without tips. The restaurant , casino, etc with tip capability pay less in govt federal tax vs business owners of businesses without tips capability.
Has been in effect at least going back to 60's.
Business owners are destroyed if you are a straight retail brick and mortar business, not service.
15.oo minimum wage will destroy usa. Make us like foreign countries that have few brick and mortar businesses. Bezos will continue to become higher trillionaire as main street America becomes a ghost town.
When will people wake up to reality?
@@pattijesinoski1958,
You have a very loose understanding of our economy.
Raising the minimum wage to $15/hr, does little to help, or hurt the average worker.
Business owners simply compensate for the increased overhead expenses, by raising the cost of goods and/or services offered.
Only the Tax Revenue collected by the government, is increased in the long-run.
This is because income taxes increase proportionately with earned wages.
And, when the wages are used to buy food, clothing, fuel, housing, electricity, etcetera ...
then, Sales Tax is increased proportionately with the cost of those goods.
Thus, the government is the only entity that receives More, without providing anything.
They are not going to teach you this, in your high school Economics class.
@@smibiz7039 Nothing to do with privilege. The (almost) richest man in the world built his ideas in his garage - Bill Gates.
Frankly, it has some benefits over a shelter. They can be pretty bad. I know.
Shelters are run by little tyrants that constantly make up new rules as you go.
@@paulsawczyc5019 that's most often the case. I've only ever found one different. It was run and opened by former alcoholics and drug addicts. They talked to us like we were equals. That is rare.

This is good!! Let's get our homeless people taken care of this would be a great start I think
No. Our government works in tandem with organized criminals, selling off housing that was affordable, and leaving it empty, or giving some renovations to quadruple the rent.. That laundered money has to go somewhere.

I'm homeless and living off a bicycle. Right now I'm camped in the woods, working on a Bushcraft Camp. The problem with what I'm doing is the cops can come kick me out anytime and write me citations... Someday, I'm gonna build one like this, but probably smaller to pull behind my bike. There's a guy in Washington who builds them as a hobby and a guy in Texas that drives a motorized bicycle contraption.. Those guys got it figured out... Because my biggest problem is people messing with me at night time... Not that long ago, I was laying in my sleeping bag, and somebody came up behind me and threw a bunch of bugs on my and ran off... I need to build one of these so I can lock the door and have some security
@@nomadnickbikehobo9598 where are you located?
If I knew where this guy was and his info, I'd start a go fund me page for him to make these for others.
They didn't show his face so the city and negative people can't readily find him. If the city knew who or where he was they would most likely destroy the whole thing. That's what every other city does with these type of structures unfortunately
@@jiujitsuwynn Then change it. All starts with one person.
And what if he doesn't want to build them for others? He probably didn't want to build his own, but reluctantly did it just out of necessity. I've seen homeless people taken off the street and given a nice apt, clothes, food, etc and they returned right back to the street because that's what they like. You can't make people live the way you do.
If you had half an ounce of creativity you would contact the news org that interviewed him as they obviously know who the guy is. Probably all talk though.
He's articulate and clever. He's now been on TV too - He hopefully can get to talk with entrepreneurs and someone could produce these in a small scale operation. Maybe he could even earn money with it.
This is such a respectable person and it upsets me they’ve fallen on such hard times. This isn’t the type of person who’s going around making a mess of public places with no regard for others. It seems like he’s just someone who is genuinely down on his luck.
God bless that man
There was a guy who built many of something like this in Los Angeles , for the people sleeping on the streets but the city removed them!

@@NETWizzJbirk Well consider yourself lucky.
I am getting kicked outta moms house soon I am homeless..
I did last year
Cheapest house in Bozeman, MT is $500k, thanks to the Californians moving here and buying up houses sight unseen. Look it up if you like, it was it's own epidemic in the last year. Locals can't afford a home. People are basically feeling forced to move because they can't afford the area, and people with dreams of living here have to lose out because they can't find affordable housing in the area. Builders are offering dollars on the penny to buy land to build condos that won't be ready for another year.
Mom bought her house for $172k 5 years ago. It's worth almost double that. My neighbor bought his 4 years ago for $200k and he said it's valued at $372k.
Well done, you are creative!
Sending love and prayers to all the homeless. It's such a sad situation. He did good on his little house. At least he can get a good night sleep On the inside instead of being on the ground. All that money spent on politics. there should be no homeless people. Let's all try to help when we can. Just keeping them in your prayers. It will help more than you ever know. Take care everybody
You have created something amazing, you will be able to help others that are being displaced.
I approve of this. All is needed is an empty lot so people can park them and pay a little cash to do it. Homelessness will not end unless society gives people in this bad position a place to recover so the can one day be homeless no longer.

I salute this gentleman. A creative solution to homelessness.
When u lose everything..u gain insight for what many of us take for granted..a place to sleep small enough to sit up and lie down..a small little shack like this is everything.
It looks like the apartment I lived in when I was a college student.
So... technically not “homeless” when you have ownership of your own home... in this case “aka” cramper.
The government doesnt consider you homeless in the u.s unless you can prove to them their way that you live on the street. If you have any other possible way of maintaining normal sleep patterns and health youre not homeless according to them. Thats why its hard for anyone and everyone to get their foot in the door with housing cause there are alot of hoops to jump through many arent capable or willing to put up with
these are the types of stories that the lame stream media needs to put out there!!! this man who made that shelter is not only innovative and amazing but he's a true American Patriot !!!! throughout everything bad that he's been dealt in life, he still built his own shelter from almost nothing,,,, how many people out there actually do anything about problems other than talk about them? this man deserves a GoFundMe account! this man deserves a real home!!!!!!!
Safe. And I love the fact that it is not surrounded with trash.
Very very engineered dude.
This is exactly what I did in hard times!!!!!
Mans blessed!
Look at it this way, he is not homeless anymore and he did it on his own like the rest of us, hard work.
Have a sickness gust like missing leg whatever helps 👍🏽
I love the concept and encourage those in government to find a way to help these people be independant.
Government "help" creates government dependence and it isn't free.

No cockroaches bugs noise i can see thousands built in a few years
Once they start bringing in trash , people would want to get ready rid of them

Bless him, l always want to ask if these people have family? How could they let their Father or Brother or Son live like this? I know there is always another side to a life story but very sad.
Several of these homes would fit nicely in the back and front yards of the advocates who spoke well of them. Sign up to have your yard be the camp ground today. 😊
Why not i would let them if i could and had a back yard.
@@carlrosenbaum3754 then petition to set aside areas of the park where your children play, or you have family gatherings, and run power lines to your house so they can have electricity. The least you can do is to Dip into your savings to feed, clothe and shelter them, and do it consistently, not just once.
You may be joking, but I have put MY money where my mouth is.
@@livableincome I am in no way joking. 🙂 I give to charities. But caring for homeless people is dealing with many factors: drugs, psychological problems with depression as the minor of them, and many more. If you wish to help ask for others who wish to help don't bring government into it.
@@livableincome most of all don't demand others to chip in when they already have their own projects and problems. Don't demand other people give up their parks etc. You give up your space, time and money.
Here in Los Angeles , someone was building something similar . The city didn't appritiate , took them away !
Keep him anonymous because once the local council hears about that they will try and find him and take his cramper away from him. Seen it happen before. Dude built little sleepouts for homeless people, can't remember where, and the city removed all of them and made the homeless go back to sleeping on the road.
Again, why is housing the homeless an issue? Between tiny houses and alternatives like this, the massive amount of foreclosed buildings, etc... It CAN be done. Just the people in power CHOOSE not to. Ya can't tell a guy 'go get a job' when he has nothing to put for an address, a phone number, and has to bring ALL his possessions with him every day.
Most of those places controlled by democrats. Shows they really don't care. Just lip service .
Love it
I wish this man much success in his life. 🙏❤️👍🏻🍀
Prayers For homeless people and homeless animals 🙏💔🙏
