What would the Nickelsville homeless encampment look like with state-of-the-art micro homes, composting latrines, solar panels to power LED lights and heat water and a communal kitchen for residents?

Sawhorse Revolution, a non-profit carpentry program for high school students, hopes to show us by 2008. They have paired top-shelf designers, architects and builders with students in a program they call Impossible City. You can help make it possible here, through their Indiegogo campaign.
