click on the quote below to check out an amazing article in the nation about efforts to build emergency housing in tijuana out of discarded homes, home materials and general "waste" from san diego. really fascinating stuff:
The leftover parts of San Diego's older subdivisions--standard framing, joists, connectors, plywood, aluminum windows, garage doors--are being disassembled and recombined just across the border. A few miles south, in Tijuana, new informal suburbs--some call them slums--spring up from one day to another. This river of urban waste flows across the Tijuana-San Diego to make something dramatically new.
