Japanese homeless living solar
A Japanese homeless man built himself a small shelter equipped with a solar panel to run his radio and TV.
In 2000, architect Kyohei Sakaguchi ran across this homeless camp along a riverside in Tokyo. The homeless man who was living in it worked for a camera company and knew his electronics - so he outfitted his "Zero Yen House" with a solar panel that let him watch TV and listen to the radio. Swing over to Neatorama to see a diagram of the interior.

Japan has so much radioactive contamination from their nuclear plant meltdowns. The map of contaminated areas keeps growing. Learn more at www.enenews.com
Looks to me like he has a house...then hes NOT homless
where would these little homes be allowed, Japan is short of room yet the owner was allowed to prepare shelter for himself. what about here? can you imagine the Local Government providing land, or the State or Federal Government...Good story though
yea cause who like the homeless to be able to prepare shelter for themselves? This obviously takes up no more room than a parking space or less than 1% of a strip mall or other massive wastes of land and resources.
A mailing address.
The difference is those who he is compared with on a day to day basis. When those who roll in BMWs start rolling with shopping carts then you can say hes not homeless.
His house is cooler than mine!
wonderful
Thanks for such an interesting story.
