RE: Are Tiny Homes Really All That Feasible?
My husband and I have been talking lately about downsizing, and the subject of tiny homes came up. Plumbing, electricity, and internet were the first things that came into our head as potential hurdles. I suppose that would depend on how off the grid one wishes to be, but, like you, we're not looking to completely disconnect. I work from home too, so internet is a necessity. Your point about land and regulations is quite valid. Cities are increasingly legislating against tiny homes, and HOA admins turn inside out at the very thought. It can be challenging to have a tiny home on land that's not out in the sticks. Still, it's fun to brainstorm about how it could be done, and see how others are managing tiny living. Where there's a will, there's a way.
Yeah I am definitely brainstorming. I dont know about if there's a will there's a way in my case because I really do need to constantly make doctors appointments. So the regulations might screw me but there are communities popping up and that is something that could help? I am hoping to find some good documentaries about this subject. :)
Definitely fun to dream about regardless. ^_^
Yup, I hear ya. Perhaps I was wrong about utilities being the biggest hurdles. Land might actually be the largest challenge, especially if, like you, there's a need or desire to stay close to a city. We need tiny home neighborhoods!
Yeah I think land is the biggest and then utilities. There are some tiny home neighborhoods! Hoping there are more in the coming years. :) There could even be like a community bathroom with showers and toilets? and we pay fees to live there but way less than traditional rent.
That could seriously work!
