I am wondering how this community of tiny homes did during the recent hurricane and if all the windows are ‘safe’ per Florida standards. I have friends around that area who live in houses that had property damage which is why I am asking.
Every tiny, travel or mobile home park should look like this one!!!!! It is gorgeous! Most parks are so sterile with little to no personality or nature around. Asphalt as far as you can see normally and no trees at all. But look at this beautiful environment! I could really love living somewhere like this.
