Re: [sudo-discuss] [Shelter] Tiny houses made for homeless in West Oak

we had a meeting maybe 2 months ago RE building a fleet of trailerable tiny homes, probably overdue for another. Here is a list set up for discussion of tiny homes, including construction, social justice / housing, property search, all aspects of the discussion: https://tentacle.net/mailman/listinfo/shelter however there hasn't been that much traffic yet. Seems like we should start hashing out some details and getting people organized a bit into whatever aspects of the tiny home movement they are most interested in hacking on. just made a pad with the minutes from the first and so far only meeting that i know of - https://pad.riseup.net/p/TinyHomeCaucus feel free to just flesh out the minutes and add your thoughts wherever as it's just a loose list of topics. I should have some open bandwidth in the next few weeks - anyone for meeting up to discuss? Last meeting was at a bar, would propose to do same for next. cheers, hol Mar 6, 2014 10:00:42 PM, owens.marcus(a)gmail.com wrote: Hey all- I think this topic is super important given the gentrification and housing crisis in our area, the increasing eviction of encampments such as at the recent clearing of the camp at the southend of lake merritt around the convention center, etc. I think there's also a lot of potential to go beyond the sculptural practice of this guys work given organizing networks and capacities of a place like sudo, not to mention the temperate climate of the bay area. Could this conversation be worthy of some sort of "Right to the City/Hack the City" working group?

Also on the "what if... occupy" tip I was once involved with a community garden in the south bronx that kept getting bulldozed and rebuilt over and over. Kicking off one of the re-occupations we built a little cassita in pieces in another garden around the corner and then carried it all over and screwed it together one night to announce the rebirth of the encampment. Best moment was dude from the city the first morning talking into his cell phone: "They have a house. I repeat a HOUSE. They're more organized than we thought they were..." gabby On Mar 2, 2014 5:54 PM, "Chris Bee" hotelcompany(a)gmail.com> wrote: I'm not calling shenanigans, but...I haven't seen any of these around, and I spend a lot of time in WSO. Should I call that number and volunteer my services? Assuming the article's legit and not just a puff piece, this sounds like a project that sudo should be working with. bike trailer/Conestoga wagon type thing that sounded pretty cool. I don't remember whether they built it or were planning to build it...anyone? -chrisbee >_______________________________________________ > sudo-discuss mailing list > sudo-discuss(a)lists.sudoroom.org > http://lists.sudoroom.org/listinfo/sudo-discuss >_______________________________________________ >sudo-discuss mailing list >sudo-discuss(a)lists.sudoroom.org https://lists.sudoroom.org/listinfo/sudo-discuss >_______________________________________________ sudo-discuss mailing list sudo-discuss(a)lists.sudoroom.org https://lists.sudoroom.org/listinfo/sudo-discuss >-- _______________________________________________ Shelter mailing list Shelter(a)tentacle.net https://tentacle.net/mailman/listinfo/shelter
