Kim Kardashian reveals Kanye West's plan to build affordable 'Yeezy homes' in Los Angeles: 'He’s building the community'
Reality TV star Kim Kardashian has revealed her husband Kanye West's 'exciting' new plans for his affordable Yeezy homes after his prototypes were taken down.
West's ambitious housing project had been set up to help and accommodate the homeless in Los Angeles but it had been torn down earlier this year because the rapper had been unable to secure the correct/ required permits. As reported by TMZ, West's new housing project had been taken down because of the LA County Department of Public Works as it violated the building code.
His wife Kim revealed that West has not given up on his humanitarian dream at all. The mother of four, 39, spoke to the Sunday Times magazine and shared, "You should see what he’s working on now. He’s fascinated with buildings and homes. He wants to do low-income housing and have the design be elevated, simple, cool and affordable."
She added that he supports the American artist James Turrell and that they are working on some exciting things together. "He’s building the community," she continued. During the same interview, Kim also spoke about her ambitions to help people. She shared, "I want to go to law school, I want to help people. Let me work for the next 10 years and build up my brands, and then one day, in 10 years, just give up being Kim K and become a lawyer."
"And now I’ve come to a realization about what I care about. No publicist would have ever told me to get into prison reform," she shared.
West had created around three prototype structures on his 300-acre estate in Calabasas. The structures were built by Yeezy Home and were described as a housing experiment aimed at sheltering homeless citizens. However, due to noise complaints on the site, inspections were prompted. The inspections found that the structures were permanent given their concrete platforms and West did not have the proper permits.
