Solar-powered small houses in 2 weeks.
Built by the community for the homeless in Seattle. Started by teens to address needs in the community.

Interesting! Those teens are doing good work in their free time. Something like that will look good on your resume.

I read recently that Utah has basically eliminated its problems with homelessness when they realized that providing housing for the homeless was cheaper than the previous support system.
Many people do not realize that the majority of the homeless are mentally ill, and cannot support themselves independently. It's sorta a crack in our social support systems.

There is as much crack as wall, these days.
The US needs to move out of the dark ages, but as long as insane right-wingers have any power, they are bent on sabotage.

Compassion is something is short supply in our public forums.
