Impress your neighbors with style and freedom rather than with larger-scle impersonally built square footage. Small is beautiful in housing. Smaller scale homes can be more livable, cozy, magical, homey, enjoyable, low maintenance and easy to clean. They can be more affordable and socially responsible than the current trend of MacMansionization; that is chewing up our farm land. Some tiny homes can be built on existing lots without requiring new land purchase. You can live in an attractive, appealing, upscale house AND have a home that is quality built, architecturally beautiful, highly marketable and profitable. Uses for tiny homes include: A home for anyone who wants less space to take care of in exchange for more time, freedom and money. As a personal getaway away space As a tax-ductable home office, professional work space, writer's or artist's studio, As a rental for passive income. For an elderly parent, student or return-to-the-nest kid to have an independent place of their own, yet be close by. Tiny Homes is leading a grass-roots movement toward smaller homes. It shows that small is beautiful in housing.
