by I’ve just reviewed Eric Weissman’s book on intentional homeless communities. Points made in the review include the following: -Intentional communities in general are communities built around specific goals. But in the case of this book, I mean small communities of housing sometimes made from discarded, donated and recycled material, and sometimes purpose-built, to address homelessness. -Intentional communities are not the same thing as tent cities or tiny home communities. The former tend to have rather sophisticated governance structures, and often have legal status. The link to my review is here. –
Topics:
Nick Falvo considers the following as important: addiction, Alberta, cities, democracy, homeless, housing, municipalities, Poverty, public infrastructure, Role of government, social policy, Yukon
This could be interesting, too:
Nick Falvo writes Women’s homelessness
NewDealdemocrat writes The bifurcation of the new vs. existing home markets continues
Bill Haskell writes Can local governments make it a crime to sleep outside if no inside space is available?
Angry Bear writes The economy is actually doing great — unless you want to make a change in your life.
