Homeless man builds wooden house ‘on wheels’ on Hollywood Boulevard
On Wednesday, FOX 11 spoke with “Q,” the man who built the home. FOX 11 asked for an inside tour but Q politely declined, saying he didn’t have a chance to clean up.
Q explained he previously lived in a tent but grew frustrated with the city’s crews asking him to clear the area and take down the tent every two weeks.
“I had an idea to build something on wheels so that we wouldn’t have to,” Q said.
Using old wood tossed away by construction sites and thanks to help from his friends, Q was able to put together the wooden house “on wheels.”
Q had been offered temporary housing from the city but has since declined the services. He said he prefers the makeshift home over the temporary hotel or tiny home options.
“It kind of gives me empowerment,” Q told FOX 11.
