"It's just really powerful to see what people are working on and the capabilities people have once they no longer are fighting for warmth and safety."
It really is. I love seeing a project like this not just take off, but become self sustaining.

If I ever end up homeless on the street, I hope there is something like this available.
I've seen a major city struggle with this tiny homes thing for YEARS and get a dozen out of it. Meanwhile, here's one guy (and team) getting SO much done with MUCH less money. Leave out the politics and 'leadership', replace it with heart and nails, and look what we can do.
