This is how I visualise a tiny home community. So many of them are almost barren, with roads and no gardens, trees etc. This is such a gorgeous setting and I am so jealous ❤

[@magesalmanac6424]

I know what you mean. They look bleak sometimes but I wonder if that’s because the residents are not as established. Maybe in ten years the gardens will be fuller.

[@LinDaniel]

The barren ones I've seen are in New Mexico, which doesn't have a lot of water for lush greenery. Georgia does.

[@norliahnasir2252]

What could be more perfect than having a ground floor bedroom, with a walk in closet and attached bathroom. This guy has got everything a person needs, even a corner office and a good size porch. Perfect.

I could live in this house. I might go with a double bed to get a side table, though! 😂

[@annesmith5192]

​@DawnOldham Same here, and then the bed would also be easier to make. You would be able to walk between the foot of the bed and the wall.

[@patriciabasey-gibson3894]

You are so right on your comment. The only thing I would add is 50 more feet. So you could walk around bed to make it. If you ever had top bunk beds, you understand. 😅 I truly love the front porch. Trish 9/23/24 Stay Safe.

​@@BrooklynAlienApparently not enough profit in it for builders and local governments, or they would be everywhere in the US. We need these big time in the Seattle area with housing costs absolutely out of control. The city is finally loosening up laws about MIL cottages et al. But we don't have individual tiny home communities such as this; only multi, mixed income high density units. 😢

I would suggest a small mobile home community but monthly lot rental fees will eat you alive.

I forget what they are called. But, LA had a lot of small little houses built like this (communal gardenspace, etc) in the early 20th century. Wish we would go back to building like this again.

Continued immigration is going to increase competition for land and housing. Sucks. But it's the truth.

A usable front porch is a must. It is, in essence, the main living room. I live on an island in the Mediterranean and life takes place outside here. Most homes are too big. There are areas of my house that I hardly ever go into. For me, that porch is the best thing about this house.😊

[@SharperMind123]

Very nice community. The house would probably look a little bit more cozy and appealing if it had an accent wall, or if the walls were not all stark white. Unfortunate that the picture window near the refrigerator has less than a 36 inch rise. If the bottom window height were raised to 36 inches or more, a pull up breakfast bar could be added that could seat two people (and they would be able to look out the window), and also serve as a prep space (game area etc.). He enjoys eating outside though, and is very happy with what works for him. He’s correct about public transport, and how neighbors do not interact anymore. All the best to him 👍🏼

[@raysun2be]

Very nice tiny house and community. I love the layout of his home. Zoning is one of the biggest roadblocks and frustrations of people wanting to go tiny.

Not only a beautiful community, but exactly what I envision the ideal “community” would be…centered around a garden and gathering area. Beautiful home and well planned ♥

[@melissazimmerman4208]

I love everything about this! But the HOA fee is way too high for the area and space they have. I live outside Altanta in a neighborhood with an HOA and our fee is $60 per month which includes maintenance of front lawn/fence, street lights and we have a pool and tennis court.

That's a great price from this Californian. Haha😅. I think my highest hoa is 500a month!

Love the architecture of the house and bedroom on first floor, sense of community, limited amenities outside and lot ownership which keeps HOA low. A covered solar carport with limited storage could be cool too. I'm attached to multiple loud neighbors so would be especially cautious in my next move.

This needs to be accessible for those of us that find ourselves in a less than conventional living situation. Not everyone can afford a standard 4 bedroom home in the suburbs and most of us don't need that much space. My partner of 7.5 years passed away suddenly. I imagine he didn't plan it to be this way...I am 37 and find myself living with my sister or being homeless. Those are my options. A tiny community that welcomes a single person with no children or other responsibilities would have been a dream come true. These are still illegal in so many states. I hope to be well in my healing journey to be able to advocate for this lifestyle. People should know the importance of affordable housing options. Great video. Thank you for sharing.

[@palebeachbum]

I'm glad this works for him and he's happy. As someone who wants to live "tiny", this is extreme. I need a comfy place for me and a couple of guests to sit and watch TV or conversate for hours. I also need a nightstand next to the bed. Too impractical without one. Changing sheets on a bed up against 3 walls is no fun. I also don't know how one preps any meal in a kitchen with what looks like 12 inches of counter space. It's such a cute community though and the price is certainly right.

[@sandyjuntunen4088]

With respect, the word you needed was " converse" not " conversate". No offense meant.

I really like the community aspect of where he lives. The way it's set up with the common garden area and all of the vegetation and houses facing each other with front porches is really appealing and inviting and conducive for people looking out for each other. Not quite keen on his particular set up, it feels a bit tight for me, but that's obviously a personal choice, and he's quite happy.

This is the second video I’ve seen featuring this community. I envy the actual sense of community. In my neighborhood, garages are attached to the front of homes for the most part so people drive in, close their garage door and enter their home from their garage, just as Rich described. No one speaks to anyone else. Now that I’m retired and home all day I make a point to say hello to my neighbors if they are out when I walk our dog. Most just give me a blank stare. It’s creepy. Hopefully I won’t have to rely on them someday because I don’t see how I possibly could.

This is what I envision when we downsize. Recently, I’ve been taking stock of our daily life and realized we really do not need as much space and stuff after all. There are only a few things we need on a daily basis. If we get rid of all the things we have not used in at least three years, we could move to a house a third of the size where we live now (and we live in a reasonably sized house at 1800 sq.ft.). One suggestion: if you swap out your hangers for those thin velvet-coated ones, you’ll fit even more hanging clothes in your closet.

Worse than being homeless?

[@judybritt6288]

Depends. I have heard nightmare stories about HOAs. I have lived in an HOA community for years, and it's good. Keeps our community clean, safe & quiet, and the fee is reasonable. The key is not to have overbearing or power crazy HOA officers. Our rules are common sense and not unreasonable. The rules in our community were established to help us maintain clean, attractive common areas for all to enjoy. Our property values stay high because homes are maintained, grass is cut, no broken down cars in the streets or driveways, etc. My community's HOA is not ridiculously restrictive. It does not tell us what type flowers to plant in our yards, or demand that we plant trees- or cut them down, etc. We have groups of neighbors who plan socials like BBQ get-togethers and ice cream parties. Our swim & tennis area is kept clean & functional with fees. The swim/tennis is optional. HOAs don't have to be a bad intity. It's the people involved in the HOAs who make them a positive or negative force.
