    The tiny house solution By Glenn Roberts Jr, Inman News
    Jim Reid's solution to the homeless problem in San Francisco: Tiny houses. His solution to the affordable-housing problem in San Francisco? You guessed it: Tiny Houses.

    Reid built a fully equipped prototype, Shelter-One, to show how small a house could be -- and still be a home. The prototype, which has a 10-by-10 interior and cost about $12,000 to build, features a picket fence, a bed, a desk, a shower and bathtub, a combination washer-dryer unit and, yes, even the kitchen sink.
