Inspiring.
lol you really think the government/banks are gonna allow affordable housing? they make so much money from condos and copy-paste townhouses
thats why its on Indigenous communities and not for the rest of canada the banks and government dont care
I love that idea!
Beautiful home too- nice job fellas 👍
The federal government is responsible for housing on reserve lands. Nice to see a local solution when the feds ignore the issue.
Not for long. Read: UNDRIP
A lot of chiefs families steel all the federal money for their own use
thats why its on Indigenous communities and not for the rest of canada the banks and government dont care
Chiefs are sitting on Billions of Dollars, and should be using that money to build housing.
At least someone cares about this problem.
Exactly. Manufacture the same house to drive the cost down
About time it catches on. The tiny house has been around for a long time
Awesome, way to go fellas !!
If your feeling completely useless, remember there are those who disliked this video. Enjoy your day wherever you are.
Feds are busy filling pockets of spoiled Trudeau. While these folks are changing lives at reserves.
That is a beautiful looking place. I’d buy it.
I want a big house though
Go get a job, earn it, beggars can’t be choosers.
Its perfect. They will hotbox the hell out of those houses
Must be easy to maintain these tiny homes.
I wouldn’t mind having one. Houses are so expensive in the big cities now a days.
Great work! Makes perfect sense!
This is just so nice to see👍
…..and they’ll tear these things apart like the other homes on the reserves that were built with taxpayer $$. Don’t believe me, just live on a reserve for a few weeks.
thats why its on Indigenous communities and not for the rest of canada the banks and government dont care
This is a great idea as long as you can hook up water and electricity. The roof should also be covered with Solor Panels.
