Small Home, Tiny Home?
Tiny homes are having a serious moment — and some are back in stock and on sale for Cyber Monday.

Tackling the Homeless Crisis in the U.S.
- Big Cities Look to Develop 'Micro-Unit', Small-Sized Apartments
- Los Angeles and California Face a Constellation of Of Affordable Housing Obstacles
“We want the best possible housing for everybody, but let’s stop making the perfect the enemy of the good, or the good enough...
How do we create more micro units or shared units? What about dormitory-style units, where maybe you don’t have your own kitchen but you have a place to eat in the building?” Galperin has also argued that more of the money should be spent on shelter beds and interim housing. “These aren’t perfect approaches, but with so many people dying every day, there has to be a sense of urgency.”

The Big Tiny: A Built-It-Myself Memoir (Hardcover) - April 22, 2014 by Dee Williams (Author)
Video - https://youtu.be/KSGvBJEoNv8
Dee Williams’s life changed in an instant, with a near-death experience in the aisle of her local grocery store. Diagnosed with a heart condition at age forty-one, she was all too suddenly reminded that life is short, time is precious, and she wanted to be spending hers with the people and things she truly loved. That included the beautiful sprawling house in the Pacific Northwest she had painstakingly restored—but, increasingly, it did not include the mortgage payments, constant repairs, and general time-suck of home ownership. A new sense of clarity began to take hold: Just what was all this stuff for? Multiple extra rooms, a kitchen stocked with rarely used appliances, were things that couldn’t compare with the financial freedom and the ultimate luxury—time—that would come with downsizing.
