They didn't think long term. Are we shocked? Brand new tiny house village sits empty in Rainier Beach | WPEC
A new tiny house village sits empty after the 'Low Income Housing Institute’ says they were denied funding.
So they built a facility before they knew how they were going to run the facility. I think that sums up how much your average Leftist knows about finance and economics.
“We were stunned that the decision was made to not open a resource that should get 40 to 60 people every year. We could open our doors tomorrow,” said Jon Grant, Chief Strategy Officer for LIHI.
So they built a bunch of tiny houses (and these are really tiny - click thru for an image), and now they are shocked - Shocked I tell you! - to discover that the funds for operation did not magically appear.
They built the thing through donations and partnerships, though they never define what they mean by partnerships. Apparently they can't raise enough of an endowment to run it. Or they didn't try because they were sure the funds would magically appear to cover staff and utilities. Let's not forget stuff like maintenance, replacing damaged stuff, etc. Because the tiny houses are going to last forever, right?
In the words of Bugs Bunny, "What a maroon."
