  • I’m glad hes addressing he’d like to move them from the parks. Like it or not, people don’t love seeing tents and shelters in their public spaces and there are some health and safety concerns with needles and human waste. Hes both building shelters and trying to move them to less impactful locations. I think this will overall get him more support from the public if the public starts seeing results like cleaner parks and an illusion of housing. The shelters are far better than tents but still not a forever solution, as the article states.



  • Yes this was my understanding. I could see some DIY people making it work but I doubt we would see a massive scale industry around re using the motors. The amount of work and refurbishment coupled with relatively low power productions would make it hard to keep economically viable i think. People would worry the used motors would wear out prematurely when investing in their own power supply. Unlike something like solar, the motor needs rotational force, where as solar almost always makes at least some energy in the day even if cloudy.
