You've missed the point. Some of us don't want a castle to heat, power, maintain, pay taxes on, mortgage, and otherwise fuss with. Of course, some people want or need all that space, but truthfully, if I don't need or want any more than, say, 300 sq ft, why would I build a 5000 sq ft barn just because I could?

I love it! Yeah, its not for everybody. It would sure help the homeless. Maybe, even someone who wants to downgrade. And even just travel the world. Some people live out of a backpack. I agree some people have missed the point. I know you could save alot of money. Maybe, even buy some land and put it on the land.

Call it what it is, a hippie house. No running water, flush toilet or shower, no privacy unless you live alone. A normal person would go insane living in one of these after a few days of steady rain.

stupid this isnt new its called a club house i built my son one on stilts with an outdoor patio across the bridge

@ToriSanaa1 Helping the homeless is not that simple. You cannot separate and many can tear up a place faster then you can build it. Go look at a project a few years old. Something like this takes care by the owner

@ToriSanaa1 How much is land in los angeles area or just so cal in general id wanna build a small home on my own land off grid makes the most sense to me

I don't think they are saying these are for everyone and as regards to tornado areas, well it is horses for courses. Igloos are fantastic, but not in Florida lol

I agree with reducing space, as i observe when there is too much, people find shit to buy to fill that space and you end up going crazy with all the belongings; however, having a small space cramped up in a small lot isn't a good long term solution either. I prefer land to grow food to be self sufficient, and have space for projects.

and when the wolf huffs and puffs-your just another homeless little piggy-again.

Tons of people live in apartments where, as far as doors are concerned, there's only ONE exit, then a hallway with stairs (since you can't use the elevators). Last I checked, this thing has WINDOWS, and if there's a fire, I'm pretty darn sure I'd have no problem breaking one out and jumping out of it. Its a TINY house, you're, what, no more than ten feet from the ground even in the loft? I mean, geez, guys.

I would live in one of these after the electricity bills I receive for a 1200 sq foot home. Life is simple we need to live more simpily. get out of debt.
