When it comes to the state spending millions of dollars for housing, it should logically be for extremely affordable housing toward our homeless problem. It should be large cubes of 4-foot by 4-foot by 8-foot stacked in large units as mere sleeping quarters. Four sheets of plywood with a window in one end, and door in the other for a mattress. They have these sleeping capsules all over the world; why are we behind the times?
Many volunteers and soldiers stayed in such pods in Ukraine for $7 or $8 a night. Kakaako had the 8-by-8 plywood cubicles at the homeless shelter there. I will provide all the labor to build hundreds of these cubicles, if you can find me the material.
