Jay-- I love this piece that you posted. I was ready to argue that tuff sheds might even be cheaper than hexayurts, however I did look it up: The lowest price tuffshed (6x6 floorplan if sent to Fresno) and it's $979. Possibly less insulated than a yurt, and to get to the 166 sq feet of a standard footprint hexayurt, it's a $2,350 tuffshed.

It would be interesting to see where the tuffshed "Village of Hope" came from in Fresno. Who ponied up the cash, and did they get any materials discounts, and whether or not Fresno wants more shanty housing.

A HexaHope Village could be an interesting Burners Without Borders or Hexayurts Without Borders gig. (PS: I made up Hexayurts Without Borders and would be happy if someone wanted to pick it up and run with it)


cheers all, and thanks for reminding us how cool it is to have roofs over our heads during the holidays (hexagonal or otherwise!)

Anyone on this group aware of any org around Fresno building housing?
