    This project looks like a jump up from Seattle’s various tiny homes villages (Nickelsville, Othello, etc), which are around 120sq.ft each and don’t have running water, if I recall. Those are considered temporary housing, but this is a like a next step up.

    Curious how these ones interact with building codes, etc, being more permanent.

    Either way, people who haven’t frozen to death, been stabbed, or OD’d have more options for recovery and moving forward.

      Yeah, these ones don’t look far removed from the ones I’ve seen on YouTube that people with plenty of options choose to live in.
