Estate developer and billionaire John Sobrato has unveiled his plans to build 200 micro apartments for low income earners and homeless people in Santa Clara.
Sobrato has asked the Santa Clara city council for exclusive negotiation rights to lease a 2.5 acre plot of land, his plans would need 160 and 240 square foot units, enough for a bathroom with shower and a kitchenette which he said could be made out of shipping containers.
John Sobrato during a meeting of the council said '' I think its time to turn my attention to creating a very cost effective solution to housing the homeless and very low income people, instead of sleeping in a pup tent or under an overpass, they would have a clean and safe place to call home''
The project called ''Innovation Place'' would be opened as soon as 2018.
