RE: Tiny House Phenomenon: Life's Priorities Can Take Care of the One and the Many Simultaneously
I really hate the tiny house phenomenon.
But not because they are tiny houses.
The reason tiny houses exist now is that the bank(sters) have made houses so expensive that the latest generation can't afford them.
Then add on top of that cities all requiring bigger and bigger homes as the minimum size (to increase property values)
And then add on the regulation that stop innovation in home design.
And, what you have left is
a tiny house or nothing.
This is a horrible choice.
There are enough houses for everyone in america to have one. (damn the banksters)
Everyone should be moving into earthships which are even more energy efficient than tiny houses.
However, my idea for fixing our society has always been to provide the minimum for everyone. Minimum housing, minimum food, minimum clothing.
And building a tiny house for 300 million people is quite doable by America.
Agreed. It's a "catch-22" for sure. Damned if you do, and damned if you don't. I do like the idea of living within your means and not going for the "bigger is better" ideal. That said, I always wonder who is presenting the information. What may start out as a great idea becomes a control mechanism towards the United Nations Agenda 2030.
I will always be for projects that help the poor and under-represented masses. It doesn't have to be tax dollar driven, but we do need to figure out how to pay less taxes (which essentially fund the rich). If we have more in our pockets we can then fund enterprises close to home. Bonus for everyone!
