Ryan Donais started building the small modular homes this summer as he watched the city’s housing crisis becoming more dire. He said he didn’t want to go through another winter seeing people living on the streets, so he put his background in construction to use.
“I just don’t see any changes. It’s been many years with people outside and it’s not changing. I couldn’t imagine being outside for years, you know?”
Since then, Donais has built three homes at a cost of about $10,000 each, most of which has been paid for through donations to his GoFundMe page.
You’d be shocked how hard it is to find a trashcan when you don’t live in a place that provides regular trash pickup.
Plenty of trash cans in that park going unused, unless you consider one being 10 meters from you too tricky to find.
Just wondering how much trash you picked up while you were checking how many bins were empty. 🤔
You can see the bins walking by https://maps.app.goo.gl/d86jJzGCeEDuBSTq5?g_st=ac and I do pick some up if I see it in the path when I pass through
