      I’m a tiny home dweller. It helps to be a small-statured nimble foldable person who never outgrew the thrill of having sleepovers in a fort, which I am. Now imagine the added thrill of having no mortgage, no rent, no utilities payments, debt-free, every dime I earn is mine to keep & spend as I wish, it’s all pretty great.

        That’s awesome if it works for you, especially if it’s your choice. I’m sure the stature helps tremendously.

        What I don’t like is single families competing with corporations for homes and driving the prices up to unaffordable levels, and then being fed all these videos about how we should cram ourselves into smaller and smaller boxes just so we could keep a buck we earn.

        It’s the same principle with buying a house. Once you own, your savings increases. Except I have a full sized washer and dryer with more leg room.

      No one actually needs a 4 bed 3 bath house with a 3 car garage and backyard with pool and storage for a bunch of different hobbies, tools and equipment.

      It’s just a wasteful use of resources and literally killing the planet because people aspire to this level of consumption.

      Very few are ready to have a conversation about what is actually required to avert climate catastrophe.

      Even fewer are prepared to give up the things required to actually avert climate catastrophe.
