I recently saw a video taken of a tent city along a paved bike trail next to the Santa Ana river in California. Easily several hundred people living there. The primary construction materials were tents and tarps. No plumbing, sewage is dumped in the river. Every construction site has to have a portable chemical toilet, but those aren't allowed here? What would happen if a federation of church groups decided to pay the rental of 50 portapotties? What prevents the creation of campground-style toilet and shower buildings to collect and process sewage and graywater properly? Or the next step up from a tent, the yurt? Only zoning, which bans the lower tiers of housing price. To fix it, the city council could spend one meeting passing a one page law repealing the zoning bans. Brian
