One Man's Dumpster Is Another Man's Tiny Mobile Park [Environment]

One Man's Dumpster Is Another Man's Tiny Mobile ParkCan't find a parking space in San Francisco these days? Don't plan overpopulation, blame these mobile dumpster parks that have started sprouting up around the city.

Bright red and bigger than a car, these 16-foot by 6-foot bastions of mobile greenery provide little bits of shade and park bench-style seating for passersby at the expense of a parking space (which is kind of the idea).

What's the over-under on number of days until one of these is seen rolling down one of San Fran's notorious hills, ablaze and defaced with graffiti? Two? Has that already happened? [LA Times via neatorama]

Dumpster Living At Its Finest [Video]

Dumpster Living At Its Finest Artist Gregory Kloehn has an interesting project. He took a dumpster, used some ingenuity and turned the metal container into a home.

Once you get over the fact that it's a dumpster, the living quarters are not that bad. The dumpster is small but it's outfitted with cabinets, a cooking surface, electricity, and all the other basic amenities needed to survive. It even has granite countertops and a hard wood floor. Not too shabby. [YouTube via LikeCool and Nick McGlynn]
