| Re: The tiny house movement: This is off the subject, but my opinion of tiny houses is that they are good solutions for certain spaces or situations. Depending upon local restrictions, a single tiny house is a good permanent "guest" house in the suburbs, a possible fit for a partial urban lot, and a feasible temporary option for a student, a vacationer or a country landowner. (In the suburbs, the backyard dwellers would probably have to be grown kids or other close relatives, and not renters or hired help, lest they be breaking the law.)
Locally some environmentalists are planning a mini-subdivision of tiny homes, as low-impact living. These people don't want a lot of family space or possessions. They are doing this because of their ideals, and not because they are out of options.
I think tiny homes should be built for people who are in a position to choose how they want to live. When planning a tiny house neighborhood, we really have to look at the resale value, the potential to fit into the larger community, and whether it makes more sense utility-wise to build duplexes with firewalls. (In my hometown, we had attractive "seven-units", U-shaped strings of duplex-type units that shared a common front yard and extended porch.)
Tiny-home neighborhoods can also be used as ghettoes to isolate populations that would otherwise be living on the sidewalk.
People can be homeless because of housing costs, housing restrictions, physical or mental disability, medical needs, lack of work and/or social skills, family problems, recent incarceration, lack of documentation, criminal record, substance abuse, any of a number of real or imagined fears, or what we used to call "wanderlust." Building smaller, more affordable homes may be a solution for some. But for others, making a place in society is the real challenge. ___________________________________________________ | |
