@MarkJCarney Are there any microhomes in the catalogue, @grok?

[Justin Trudeau @JustinTrudeau]

When the end of World War Two brought on a housing crunch decades ago, Canada created a catalogue of homes that could be constructed quickly. It worked.

Now, faced with a housing crisis again, we’re bringing that post-war catalogue back – with a new set of modern blueprints.

Glasgow incentivized the use of empty space by suspending taxes on properties accessed by community building orgs.

@noelkeough Ban empty space! Must be activated!

@calgaryhomeless @PattyJ1963
Your job is to stand up for the homeless & you’ve allowed this discriminatory legislation to go unchallenged for decades.

The per unit costs are significantly less, aprox 1/10th, of the present #PovertyInc model.

[Realign & shine @PaulyHughes]

Citizens struggling to access safe, affordable, dignified housing (the homeless), when asked if they would live in a #MicroHome, the response 99% of the time is “Fuck ya!”.
The other 1% respond with "Hell ya!"

Microhomes are the 1st step towards achieving Housing 1st for the homeless. #cdnpoli #ableg

If Housing 1st is the model, why are we not embracing #Microhomes & #TinyHomes?

Under $500 MicroHomes. Winter ready. 100 units = $500K. 1/30th of your target for 1/2000th your budget.

THEY WON’T SAY IT. STASH WAS ABUSED. The excuse for dumping her: a “human” is suddenly allergic after 4 years. She’s terrified, cowering; has an untreated UTI. Now without her pledges via @TomJumboGrumbo they’ll kill Stash #81743 Thursday PLEASE RT STASH! https://t.co/Z7F9fuHHMD

@alphahouseyyc @BriggsAlexa & speaking of doing something, let’s actually build enough homes so people can live with dignity regardless of the weather. #ableg #yyc #yyccc #cdnpoli #homeless #poverty

[Grow Calgary @GrowCalgary]

Love it! We did this in #YYC with 18,000 school children. Instead of continuing this important work, @prasadpandayyc chose to shut us down. #YouthMatter #ableg #yeg #farm #urbanag

Happy Hemp Day, #YYC!

For our 1st official #HempDay of 2020, we celebrate Calgary’s 1st commercial #Hempcrete wall, built by @hempreclamation!

@n_hawryluk @collenbe @everydaytourist @BILDCR @calgaryeconomic I know many Calgarians living in #poverty, or are #homeless, that would like any kind of shelter, anywhere.
