Get real

Phil, there's still space in the margins between business and residential zones. Remember, these are basically trailer homes and most are transported ON flatbed trailers. We're talking 400 sq ft or thereabouts.

And since they CAN be moved, it is possible to set up a couple dozen on all kinds of empty land. For instance, we have had a large empty lot where a diner once stood in Norwalk at the corner of Firestone and Studebaker. The lot has stood empty for well over THREE years now and most likely will remain empty for another two or three.
A former Cadillac dealership at the other end on Studebaker and Florence has been an EYESORE for FIVE years BEGGING to be torn down.

No reason why a couple dozen or so tiny homes can't occupy this land and make a small sum for the owners while they decide what to do.

So just off the top of my head I just located space for FORTY-EIGHT small dwellings which can stay for up to five years, maybe more.
