Just Imagine, a 24m²/30m² similar as shown Transit Housing Unit replacing a
shack which many a person calls "Home" while waiting for their own gap or
affordable housing unit !!! It will have some great advantageous spin-offs;
- No major infrastructure required
- Reduced fire hazard
- A "Next Generation" freed from the shack mentality
- Restoration of dignity and self pride while not needing to share
sanitation and private facilities which have its' own positive
repercussion e.g. Rape Reduction, reduced aids infection by
adopting modest behaviour, reduction of other infectious diseases
normally associated with shared sanitation facilities etc
- Fully insulated dwelling units keeping away cold and damp therewith
reducing associated disease and exposure
- Eco-friendly, controlled environment
- And not the least, "New Job Opportunities"
The Techno-crat out there might say "No" to transit-camps. Reason
- if it is this good, why not build permanent housing units. True in
that sense, but, we all know, people come and live together at specific
places for specific reasons at specific times. With no available space at
that specific place, Relocating same, a daunting task!!!
