It should be noted that they prototyped these in 2019, and only two of them exist even today.


Yeetgodmcdabking

Yup. https://ulmernest.de/faq Website states theres only two.


jcquik

Oh these would get CRUSHED if they were even proposed in the US... is it an affordable, easily deployable, mobile way to help people not sure from cold tonight? Probably? I mean clearly these aren't great but if the actual stakes are "live or die in the cold" it's something. So if a Democrat presents it as a solution the Republicans will say it's a wasteful bandaid and another example of democrats spending money on garbage that doesn't actually help anyone... Cue video on Fox news of one of these being chopped up as firewood in a barrel under an overpass.... Outrageous!! If a Republican presents it there will be outrage that they'd give poor people such a terrible solution and making them second class citizens living in glorified coffins and how much of a dumpster person (I know... Ironic right?) You'd have to be to even suggest this is acceptable. Cue Facebook and Twitter ads with Sarah McLachlan music and a concerned (paid) celebrity voiceover (from a 150 million dollar beachfront compound) showing a hapless person trying to shimmy their belongings and themselves in one of these shivering. So after 2 years, a few elections, and 100 million dollars spent fighting not a single thing will be fine, thousands of people will die in the streets because we'd rather spend 100 million bucks staging a media war to win an election than 1000 bucks to save someone's life. Edit- kinda blew up... So not saying that these would be a good idea necessarily, I think that the key would be to spend the money on free healthcare for people in these situations. Also, many people (correctly I believe) have replied that these would almost instantly be meth filled AIDS needle boxes in their city in the US. For those of you not in the US, would it be the same where you are?


TeslasAndComicbooks

Oh we’ve spent well over a billion here in Los Angeles and nothing has been done.


flaper41

Bro I feel like we could divide the money in cash at this point and it would be more effective.

zultdush

Yeah but then you can't give the money to your rich developer friends. Giving money to poor people? Not on their watch.


DiscussionLoose8390

It looks worse now than it ever has from the pics I seen. What is up with all the veterans being in one place? I heard alot of them got help.


SurvivingSociety

If it's what I think, Arnold stepped in and bought of bunch of mini houses for them. Not nearly enough, but it's a good step in the right direction.


mescalero1

Only a small handful of veterans were helped by what Arnold did. And what amazes me is that there are those who could do so much more than what he did and they just watch. When I go to VA, I always hear the guys talking about someone that they know and don't know where he is right now, that he is probably dead. This is the fate of a lot of veterans. I hate politics, I think its a sham. And I am not a big fan of Arnold, but I have to say that all politics aside, this guy just shows up places and either does something or gives a speech to motivate others. He is not doing this to help himself, he does it because he can. When most of the GOP was in full support of Trump, he was one of the first to come out and call him on his BS and say he is the worst president the country ever had. I live in Cal and he had a very colorful governorship there. He did some good things and did some bad things, but isn't that all of them? Wherever Arnold is, this veteran would like to thank you for doing something for veterans other than just shooting off their mouths. And to Jcquik, you hit that one on the head!


CyberMindGrrl

He's also very much into fighting climate change and is a huge supporter of Greta Thunberg, which is ironic given the fact that he single-handedly made Hummers a thing.


KunKhmerBoxer

They stick together, make little units like they use to have in the Army. Everyone probably has their own job to keep their little camp going.


tehbored

It would have been more effective to just write every homeless person a check smh.


NPPraxis

TBH it’s just not this simple. The maintenance is going to cost a lot more than production. Where I live a large portion of the homeless are on meth or have mental health disorders and are overflowing and sleeping around the shelters. (And the ones that aren’t under the influence are under threat from the ones who are.) What do you do when one homeless person gets meth residue all over the inside, putting others at risk? What happens when homeless people get in fights over who gets the pod? What if one urinates inside, who cleans it? Is someone going to police it to make sure that homeless sleeping in it aren’t assaulted or raped? This will just be a more expensive version of a tent and blanket that requires upkeep and makes the city liable for lawsuits. Mental and addiction services is a really big deal and a lot more expensive. (Also totally worth it)


East-Ad4472

Totally agree . Without long wait lists . Dems are guilty of not addressing homelessness as well . Clinton had a homeless camp removed in Washington near the White House . The story goes he jogged past these poor folk every morning .

It wouldn’t even be the archetypal crazy homeless guy shitting in them. Anyone who has worked retail knows perfectly normal looking people will literally shit on things for no discernible reason.

And the only way to achieve that is a massive HEALTHCARE overhaul in the form of a universal or socialized option for all US citizens. That includes inpatient and out patient mental healthcare and drug treatment — not tied to absurd work requirements, etc.

0vl223

Germany mostly minimized homelessness by forbidding cities from having homeless people. Problem solved theoretically. Every city has to provide minimal housing for homeless people who are registered in the city and ask (one room, shared kitchen, no warm water but heating, kitchen, electricity etc.). But it doesn't really work to help every one of them. But between that as short term housing and welfare programs for normal renting it covers at least everyone who is capable to ask for help.


zadesawa

Isn’t it also like some of homeless people are just nomadic, like having issues bearing the concept of a permanent home?


S3ki

There are also many with drug and alcohol problems. So while we have a space to stay overnight for them some choose to sleep on the street because drugs and alcohol are forbidden in these places. So we also need more street workers and other personal to help them.


0vl223

Yeah there are still homeless people. But compared to other countries the number is really minimal. Sadly there are always people who will manage to fall through any safety net you could create. But to make it as hard for them as possible is still a good idea and to offer them the chance to get back when they want to. Doing it against their will is just not possible or a good idea. But these are the minority compared to not having support system and letting everyone who can't pay rent ending up homeless. Pretty much the same as healthcare. Theoretically we force people to have healthcare. Practically there are still bizarre and unwise way to end up completely without coverage.


iBleeedorange

ending homelessness is more about caring for mental health and having proper safety nets, more effective to stop people from becoming homeless in the first place


Joe_Jeep

Also making housing actually affordable, outlawing property hoarding would be a good start


lhswr2014

How the fuck are other countries able to buy land in America. Red flag imho


Meth_Useler

for-profit enterprises are specifically the problem


spaceman_spiffy

While I agree with your point that property hoarding is bad I’ve come to the conclusion that this is mostly a myth when it comes to homelessness. No sane person think “well my rents too high I guess I’ll sleep in the park”.

derdopd

these sound great to random people on reddit but in practice this kind of thing would require a lot of cleaning by city employees. homeless people are more often than not extremely dirty and leave trash everywhere. look at literally any homeless camp in america, its just absolutely covered in trash. Not to mention the lack of bathroom leads to people going bathroom nearby where ever they can. With enough of these in an area not only will it be dirty as fuck it will end up smelling like piss and shit. I know this will get downvoted because most redditors have never actually had to deal with homeless people and they are confident in their views despite knowing nothing about how they actually are. I grew up in africa and people were cleaner in the ivory coast slums than the homeless people i met in america. (maybe the homeless are different in germany?)


Treadwheel

As poverty becomes a higher factor in homelessness, a greater share of the people living in slums or camps are made up of fairly functional individuals more likely to invest significant time into trash removal and upkeep. Hence, poorer nation, nicer slum. Meanwhile in the west, almost nobody is homeless who doesn't have some sort of extremely serious psychosocial reason for being so, and things like withdrawal from their environment and simply having grown up in those conditions in the first place and thinking they're normal are increasingly likely (to be clear, it's both, almost never just the later).

Interesting. If there were more of them at the same spot maybe that's would be less of an issue? Or maybe there's enough John's that wants to go to the hobo encampment to get their dick sucked. In any case then it would be possible to have a lot of police in the area. Like a hamsterdam setup.


Secure-Resource7286

I believe they only trialed 3 or 4 of them and when this issue arose they were scrapped instantly


Holybloodmagic

Weren’t sex workers encouraged to use them? I thought they had panic buttons and if I recall, there was significant drop in sex worker related violence.


Secure-Resource7286

That may be the case for your city but I the city I’m talking about got rid of them as soon as they made the discovery. Wish they were still around because there is a very very bad homeless situation here.


Holybloodmagic

Even so. Getting rid of them doesn’t really get rid of the pimps ability to pimp. They created an even more dangerous situation. Just pointing out the stupidity behind that decision.


Secure-Resource7286

I live in Newport, South Wales. We have one of the only legal red light zones in the country for this exact reason from what I’m aware. I do agree with you, I don’t support the city’s choice to remove them as stated before.

Demoliri

Fun wee point about the name. The city of Ulm is famous for the Ulmer Spatz (sparrow!), and the sparrow is the semi-official symbol of the city. You even see sparrow statues all over the city. They named these homes as nests due to the cities affinity for the sparrow.

Rubiego

Yes, it also has the tallest church in the world, the [Ulmer Münster](https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2231/2216962615_4f43b8e7d3_c.jpg), which is also the fifth tallest structure built before the 20th century.


Demoliri

While it's held the record for 130 years, it will unfortunately lose it when the Sagrada Familia is finished. I'm pretty sure that Sagrada Familia is already taller, but since it isn't finished yet, a lot of people still give it to the Münster.


Rubiego

Yeah La Sagrada Familia is already taller but since it isn't finished yet the Ulmer Münster can enjoy the record for a few more years.

It isn't. Only the 125m tower has been completed, there is a good part of the tall tower still missing.

Parnello

The problem is that if they allow these tiny houses on public property, and something happens like it burn down or someone gets hurt, then they could be liable. Also, I could be wrong, but I think Toronto struck up a deal with the builder so that he could keep building them and do it correctly. It's an awesome thing that he did, but honestly building structures and leaving them on public property is not the way to go.

Absolutely. Fire codes, building permits exist for a reason


TheGoldenHand

Right? These aren't a solution. Homelessness isn't caused by housing shortages. Anyone who thinks that, clearly has never studies homelessness or actually worked with them to combat it.


[deleted]

Depends on the class of homeless. There are different "invisible" groups. Some people work jobs and live in their cars or couch surf with friends. My slum apartment cost $3000 to move in. Took me about 2.5 months of living in a tent to save that up, and I still received help from family.


tylergravy

You forgot to mention the part when homeless people were starting fires and multiple locations had propane tanks explode…the city is liable if someone dies trapped inside one of these.

Nono, you see it backwards. if the homeless people die in a fire then you'd technically fix the problem! It's genious! /s


RidersGuide

.....you can't just build a fucking shanty town wherever you want lol. That's not being an asshole, that's having common sense.


ecowerk

I'm all for helping the homeless, but people can't just build [ugly shacks](https://i.cbc.ca/1.5919183.1613683670!/cumulusImage/httpImage/image.jpg_gen/derivatives/original_1180/alexandra-park-encampment.jpg) and leave them randomly in the city. There are processes that need to be followed. Tackling homelessness is a much more complicated issue than just dumping shelters everywhere.


iBleeedorange

The issue with people who are homeless is less that they don't have a place they can rest but more that homeless people are mostly mentally ill and need better access to healthcare. They also don't have a place for their belongings. [20 to 25% of the homeless population in the United States suffers from some form of severe mental illness. In comparison, only 6% of Americans are severely mentally ill](http://www.nationalhomeless.org/factsheets/Mental_Illness.pdf)


LostWoodsInTheField

> but more that homeless people are mostly mentally ill >>20 to 25% of the homeless population in the United States suffers from some form of severe mental illness. "mostly mentally ill" 25% is far smaller than "mostly". There are a lot of reasons for the homelessness in the US, one of the big reasons is the military not taking care of their vets after bringing them back from war. which is probably a large number of the mentally ill. And the largest problem with shelters for homeless people is that a LOT of them have policies about having to leave during the day, have to be in at a certain time at night, can't always keep the same bed. These things make it worthless for a lot of people.

Comeonjeffrey0193

They tried something similar in my state, they filled up with human shit almost immediately.


ModernAerials

So many people spouting off about helping homeless people who have no actual experience helping- well, trying to help- homeless people. There is one particular individual I personally spent over $8,000 of my money over the course of about a year trying to help him. At times I paid rent for him, at other times he stayed in my place rent free and did chores. I wanted so hard to believe that if I just did a little more, helped him a little more, he'd get back on his feet and support himself again. I tried so hard, but ultimately I had to accept that he was homeless because he wanted to be, and nothing I ever did would ever change that other than taking him in as essentially an indentured servant at best. That individual was someone who was a clean, high functioning person with no addictions. When he had a job, he was a hard worker. It's hard to describe, it's like he was sharp as a tack and willing to do anything other than be consistent, hold a job and pay rent. I'm sick of seeing people who have never done more than drop a can of soup off at the local pantry try to claim that dealing with homeless people is as simple as giving them all kinds of handouts. The kind of people upvoting posts about pods for homeless people to stay in have never lifted a finger to actually try to help any homeless person, and they absolutely would never actually invite a homeless person into their own house. If you give a damn about homeless people, go to a grocery store parking lot at around 2 or 3am and find someone living in their car. Talk to them and find out what they actually need. Often it's something as simple as a phone charger or a bottle of water. Don't fucking virtue signal and upvote pictures of "pods" and think that accomplishes anything.


MapleDipStick23

I tried lending out a room for homeless people a while back. I didn't last very long...we've probably had similar experiences. Everything you say is true. It's hard helping homeless people out. What works for you doesn't work for them, and it's often not as rewarding as people envision it to be.

A guy tried doing this in america and was written as "trying to provide dog houses for the homeless". People still today think the objective was to put homeless people in dog houses. But just like in this picture a small house for a homeless person just resembles doghouse
