Tiny House Movement


The tiny house movement, it makes sense, yet I don’t know that I would follow.  It takes simplifying your life to a new level.  Only having room for the things you truly need.  (I personally need a little more air conditioned space to breathe than these people, but all the power to them.) 

The tiny house movement is an extension of the green movement.  It shines a spot light on those who have such large homes that it is a waste of space, energy, and resources in general.  There is no reason for a 20,000 square foot home unless it is housing half a small village.  For instance, the house featured in the popular TV show Revenge, highlights the complete waste of really everything you can think of.  I am not a socialist by any means, but isn't this a little excessive?  Wouldn't those resources be better used somewhere else?  If they opened up an orphanage in it that may do good for their conscious. 

The tiny home movement is definitely not for everyone.  However, it epitomizes the ideal of simplistic living and proves that there is nothing wrong with living in a small house.  They can be nice too.
