Eyedia has a collection of painted homeless cardboard houses that people actually live inside, in the Shinjuku subway station, Japan (which unfortunately were burned down in 1998): Link

Neat stuff from the NeatoShop:

Diagonally Parked in a Parallel Universe
Office Monkey Playset
Cookie - Tasty Treat Keychain

Okey

The art was very interesting, the stench was unbearable. The view of homeless people defecating outside the entrance to those box houses on your way to work………was priceless. I was personally happy when they were moved out. And by the way, they moved them into brand new homeless apartments, with running water and bathrooms.
