Re: ‘Unexpected’ costs threaten progress of Port Alberni’s tiny home village, Alberni Valley News, Oct. 12, 2022

Better yet, why not convert all the already existing empty commercial spaces and schools into rooms for the homeless?

They all have electricity, heat, bathroom facilities and water. They would need partitions and showers and kitchen additions.

Renovations have got to be cheaper than tiny homes,.
