When it comes to tiny housing we face several challenges.
Do we park them in backyards and live in them there?
Do we develop our own tiny house communities and villages?
Do we rent currently available RV or trailer lots to live in?
Do we buy our own land where tiny living is allowed?
I believe the answers lie in doing a little bit of each.
The question is: how would you want to do it?
