@newstephie @webhat i mean, and also when you build a shed, not a house or apartment, when it has no insulation, no plumbing, no electricity, no heating or cooling ...

you can build sheds fast. you cannot get them approved for living in. and even if you could, then you'd have other housing advocates calling them inhumanely small

@beka_valentine @newstephie at the Christmas markets I've seen I'm pretty sure there's electricity and heating. They are selling freshly made food, hot and cold drinks and have strings of gaudy Christmas lights. They even have horrible heat lights for people who insist on sitting outside in cold weather and don't want to get cold

As for small, have you seen the 40ft shipping container housing projects for students?

@webhat @newstephie sure but like thats way different than actual construction and installation of electricity, heating, etc.

“Look, this would be better than nothing!”

“It’s not good enough, let them have nothing.” 😞

When people are sleeping in card-boarded bus shelters (as I saw this morning in -15C weather) all the talk about code is just an excuse to continue to do nothing.
