Why build a tiny house instead of buying existing small house or trailer?The biggest reason for me is creative empowerment.There are so many things we arent in control over. But one of them, if you have some money put aside, is your shelter. Theres something incredibly validating about building my own shelter.If you think about it, how many things do you create on a daily basis, vs consume? How much of your individualized potential is being expressed in your daily life, vs molded by others?So many of us wake up in beds designed for the masses, wearing one size fits all PJs, grabbing our push-button coffee out the door on the way to our increasingly commoditized jobs in the car with the best reviews.Best not become unemployed or youll lose access to your pharmaceutically manufactured pills. That would make the CEOs very angry.I sleepwalked through 3 years of consumption before I finally realized Im not even participating in my own life!In my house, everything is exactly how I want. And if its not, Ill have intimate knowledge how to change it.Solar power, heated floors, loft speakers, enclosed shower, four-burner range Hell a garden in my living room if I so desire. I can have it all in 150 sq ft. for about $30,000. And go anywhere with all that too. And no one can evict me or foreclose on it.
