Housing is a human right and people deserve homes period. If a shipping container provides people with temporary relief, good. But it's not a real solution to the crisis we face.

Completely agree with this

I mean, I understand gothamist is a failed website business being run as a mercy-nonprofit by npr now... but how in the flying fuck do you have an article about a city thats a 20 minute PATH train ride from you building shipping container homes AND NOT HAVE A SINGLE PICTURE?

Especially in a city like Newark, where we have a higher than average homeless population and tons of cheap housing inventory that is just in need of repairs.

I don't know man.

Some people go their whole lives while living off the system and don't aspire to be more than that.

They are just used to it.

Those people still deserve homes.
