San Diego's 1st Legal Tiny House Community! Insights & Tours

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

Do you need legal tiny house parking? Tiny House Block has available spots! It's in San Diego County in the beautiful Mount Laguna, in the Cleveland National Forest--just an hour from downtown SD. During our visit, we enjoyed connecting with full-time residents, who are eager to welcome new neighbors around the campfire for their next potluck! 🏡🏡👉 *See More Tiny Home Communities:* kzbin.info/aero/PLlvBXhDyr9H1KYgiaoNKa-OZfOq6vXbkm

Is tiny finally legal now in San Diego? I hear it’s still in the works. But maybe the county rules are different from the city?

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

JR Dee almost! The movable tiny houses as ADUs zoning ordinances in San Diego city is expected to be fully approved in the next month or so. This community is in the county, grandfathered in for year round stays.

Tiny House Expedition that’s awesome!

[@kaylaescolano4668]

I used to live in the “rundown” RV park they talked about for 4 years prior to this new community. They omit quite a bit of information about living this lifestyle and the location. The elevation of this park is about 6000 ft. When the snow would fall, it would FALL. In one night we got about a foot and a half of snow, the plows that maintain the roads of the mountain DO NOT plow the park. The traffic on the mountain during these snow days was BAD. Thousands of people would flood the mountain right after is snowed and the mountain would have trash EVERYWHERE. We heard from neighbors outside the park who would have their property broken on to or partially destroyed by people because the “private property” signs were ignored. This duo who opened this park lied to all the tenants and evicted everyone out of this park, displacing people who could not afford to live at a $1300 rent. That rent by the way, is 4x what the RV park charged everyone. They spent a VERY hefty # just to purchase the park. Park plumbing was always a huge project for the previous owner, the park septic tank broke a couple times during the hot summers while we lived there. It would soak the ground around it and the heat just amplified the smell, So gross. Hopefully they’ll actually get that fixed. The amenities? The closest grocery store and gas stations that aren’t over $4/gal are about 30 mins give or take depending on the weather (the snow triples travel time if you aren’t used to driving in it). You really need a fuel efficient car to drive up and down if you don’t work from home. Want internet? Hughes Net is the only available provider. Cell service? Verizon works best, ATT after that, all others don’t work. Above all the heart ache this duo caused for my husband and I and all our neighbors, I miss living there, you get the 4 seasons there, not what you ever see down in SD. Julian, CA is a hop skip and a jump away which is one of the cutest towns you will ever see in SD. The nature here is breathtaking, countless hikes were taken. A lot of the previous neighbors I had were retired or spent the warmer months here and colder months in Arizona. I’m in no way telling people they shouldn’t live here, it’s a gorgeous place, just trying to give some real information, not sugar coated BS that omits that stuff people really need to know. The way they went about setting this park up was hurtful and facetious. We thought about taking legal action against them, but ultimately decided not to. If I had the option to move back to Mount Laguna, I would, but not if this duo owns the park still.

[@kaylaescolano4668]

I would also like to add, I’m sure they used “rundown” because a lot of the RVs parked there were old models, about 20 years old or so. A lot of the tenants lived there for a very long time on fixed income, getting a new RV wasn’t something they could do. The park was in no way trashy. Just wanted to clarify that in case anyone wondered.

[@milly9897]

This sounds horrible and you should reconsider taking legal action or at least letting the local government know about what happened to previous tenants. I am surprised that the courts allowed it. I do think that the rental prices are way too high. I have been watching these videos for a few months and this is by far, the most expensive I have heard of for a community. He gives me a creepy vibe by the way and so does sis. I hope the new batch of tenants don't go through the same thing. Thing is when you have pages like this one, they are simply reporting on what they see so the owners are on their best behavior. They probably did not see anything that would be concerning.

[@thegardenoffragileegos1845]

@@milly9897 This is typical gentrification. There are too many gentrifiers in government to do anything effective about this type of behavior.

[@ShakeMyWay]

Yep. You should be able to put a tiny house in a back yard, or a spot that you pay for. You should be able to capture the water that falls on the land you own (rain barrell), and harness energy that infringes on no one. There should not be a minimum size house requirement. It's all just for property tax.... I like to look at pretty neighborhoods, so I understand the need to have regulation about not looking like a dump, but other than that, there should be more latitude.

[@KaliMaaaaa]

$1,200 per month (which is the cheapest rate) for a location this far out from San Diego is not a great deal. Like much of the Tiny House movement it is often not cost effective and usually more expensive than other forms of alternative housing. People really need to do their research.

[@martini426]

Anybody knows about something like this in Arizona?

[@le_th_]

​@@martini426 Do what this man did. Buy a failing RV park (you have tons of them in AZ already). Triple the lot rent. When the poor people who purchased mobile homes and parked them there can't afford the exorbitant increase in lot rent, you evict them AND they'll likely leave their mobile behind for you to renovate because they're already there because they can't afford any where else to live, they own no land to move the mobile home onto, and paying to have a movile home moved isn't cheap. They'll be homeless, but what do you care? Then you EVICT those who can't pay while keeping their mobile home they paid for and can't afford to move, and once that is accomplished, you then rebrand from a mobile home park to a "tiny home community". The ignorant, shallow, trend-seeking social media-absorbed narcissists who fall for this stuff don't care who was screwed over or forced into homelessness, as long as they have new material to post their videos and photos on Instagram, YT, and elsewhere. Kinda like this YT channel did right here. They just posted above to me that they "share what was shared with us". Seriously. Now, if you want an ethically acquired/built tiny home community, that is A LOT more actual work then just ruthless, psychopathic greed with total indifference to others as this particular "tiny home community" was created. Tiny homes are not affordable unless they are built in a co-operative manner and homeowners are VERY resistant to their home prices being de-valued anytime a community wants to buy land anywhere except farm land. Most all the communities that exist are/were zoned for mobile homes. The exceptions seem to be those who built on land zoned for farming. The tiny home communities that are NOT built in a ruthless manner seem to be created by religious leaders of various churches (I'm an atheist-leaning agnostic here, so this is NOT me promoting religion) who have a vision to house the most vulnerable in the community (the homeless, the disabled, the elderly, etc), and the community leader gets the entire community on board BEFORE they begin to build or plan anything. They then enroll the architects and engineers in that community to each create a design they are recommending, and enter the design in a contest. Those who win the contest each must then BUILD and DONATE that home design for the community. Honestly, mobile homes are much more cost efficient, and usually create far less waste of resources than tiny homes create, but there is a stigma people do not want. (Note: I have seen some exceptions to this, but most of them are in other countries that have different laws and zoning) The largest barrier to tiny homes becoming affordable and feasible is the home owners in every community where this is attempted, even in the most liberal places in California the home owners pitch a fit at community meetings, create FB private groups AGAINST the tiny homes that they delete once they achieve their desired goal of getting the board members to vote it down in their community. You would think an extremely liberal community like Berkeley, CA would be open to something like this, but both the business owners AND the home owners have fought against the homeless population mercilessly and in the ugliest manner you can imagine. It's the typical not-in-my-backyard mentality.

[@DigimonTamerfreak]

Odds are 750 Is not the full price for a 3 bedroom 2 bath at least not if you're in California.

My first "tinyhouse" was a 60s recreation of a Vardo which I made for my old Dodge truckbed that was strong enough to winch out of the bed when I needed my open truck for hauling. A lot of fun life in that thing! Nice to see the perennial legalities being plowed thru in San Diego.

He said they sold his dad a mule once, and his dad later realized the mule was blind. When we buried my dad, one of his relations said there was a gypsy baby buried in their family cemetery somewhere. He'd never been sure if it was true or a rumor.

I have always wanted a Tiny Home but kept running into the same issues with where to legally park it especially since most RV parks wont allow them either. I ended up getting a toy hauler and converted it to my now cozy luxury home with all of the things that I needed for my lifestyle. I am in Las Vegas, There is a builder out of Canada that I may dive deeper into in the future for my modern T.H. build. If you know about any villages trying to get started in Las Vegas (and not the one downtown run by the former Zappo's president) May he rest in peace, but that space is so exclusive to employees etc... but let me know and I would gladly do what I can to help out here in Las Vegas. Clearly we have the land... I have no idea why so many of the decision makers are so old in their thinking this is revolutionary and could be great for so many who want to ACTUALLY OWN their space and not be slaves to a mortgage for decades. Buying my rig was the best decision ever and this crazy year of 2020 forced it to happen sooner, there's my silver lining because I love being a Tiny Home momma :)

Tiny House Expedition Well, it’s still too much for many, especially a lot of seniors and those with minimum wage jobs. But I guess that being below market rate for San Diego makes it great for some. Just not everyone who use a major break on rents.

[@jazherahmacmornna8670]

If anyone reading this is in or considering moving to the San Francisco Bay Area, I’m with a group of folks who want to build a TH community next year. We’re going to try to keep rents as low as possible. Contact me via Facebook.

[@arielmichael3683]

In the process of making my own tiny house. I love to see a tiny house community.

[@ciarasavoy3436]

They got me at community and eco consciousness ❤️

[@dianer8881]

No privacy. Would not enjoy staring at another house outside every window. It's important to give each home it's own space with a better view and more privacy.

[@ship.6466]

We’re planning this kind of thing. I hope this can help us too

[@cherieallen2539]

Oh. I guess you meant MT. Laguna..oh well .my offer still stands 😉

[@mauricepowers3804]

I’m not a fan of a tiny house if it does not have a bathtub

[@ShakeMyWay]

I hear you. A tub is quality of life!

[@lapislazarus8899]

Long ago, I had a roommate who was originally from San Diego, and I she told me about having a horse. I guess she lived in an area like this.

[@bangbutton8322]

The little girl is so cute. Don’t you waste that peanut butter! It’s a crime, Haha.

[@ShakeMyWay]

I hope she gets some friends moving in. That is hard to be the only kid out there.

[@quantumhealingtools]

2023 Update to this 2020 video is that they have rented out all their tiny homes for $1400+ per month! So much for affordable housing.

[@ablueslenz]

Dang! They gentrified the trailer park. 😂

[@JustAGrl007]

I thought this video would be different. That is one ugly tiny house talking about the kitchen stands out 😂 they made a regular shower head a “rainfall” shower 🤦🏾‍♀️

[@cherieallen2539]

Did you say you were from Laguna ???? Me too if so 👍live the tiny house idea for displaced artists like myself or anyone that needs a step up❗would love to have this in Laguna on L. Canyon Rd. Want to bring some tiny homes up here 😁please do..let's DO IT ‼️❤️😘

[@lindylindybasicoceangirl]

...love the mom and daughter situation (minus the snake with eyebrow-sorry)...also happy these communities are starting to take hold...will be interesting to see the changes that take place after this crazy time of social distancing /shelter in place/economic issues/etc...a time to simplify for me...ps still looking for felting supplies...

[@tamiweber7118]

Beautiful, spacious house number 1. Farmhouse number is adorable. 💖 Oh, I’ve seen the tour of Erins house before 💖

[@justme5694]

This place looks really great. Clean and organized. Looks like fun too. These sibs did a great job!!!!

[@westcoastadventurers8504]

a BIT greedy if you ask me, but yes they did a GREAT job, Impressed, now I want to do the same thing but better. . . and the movement has begun ;) LOL

[@northbay4619]

I've always wanted to run a site like this.

[@achsahkaleb4844]

love it I will just suggest to put in decks that are the same size or bigger than your tiny houses with a fire pit and juzucci.

[@JermaineLester-t7c]

Great work.. I'm going to do the same thing...Sare , Loving community...

[@lisar1770]

Flower Fun needs a couple of TV Trays or a folding table. People with the pit bull, if that's an Ametican flag under your chair, please pick it up. Great idea to turn a trailer park into a tiny home park. I hope we see more of these. I can't wait to see how you expand and progress!!!

[@KitKatToeBeans]

It’s not an Ametican flag....it looks like a duffle style bag with stars on it. Also live & let live. 🤦🏽‍♀️

[@toniawilkins1635]

I look forward to seeing more tiny home communities emerge and I hope they will also be open to Skoolies.

GREAT Job How Much Per Night For First House Grey And The White Ship Lap

[@lorrainemiale467]

I love it up there! How much to rent for a few days? How much to buy one?

I am interested in bringing a tiny home to your village. How do I get in touch with you?

[@aaliyahhenry7740]

here looks like a nice place to live ;everybody can be friends ,mix with different culture and i looooveee how they respect nature.

I totally want to live like this video for a couple years!! Love your community there!! ❤️🥰

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

Do it! Thanks for watching

[@overworked1084]

I agree this is a cool idea. Really cute tiny homes.

[@MrUnknownPunk]

"big, strong steps, we get a lot of compliment on this" why does it have such a trump vibe on that bit.

[@santoscarlos3650]

The government should encourage this way of living.

[@barbaraherrera3984]

Love love love this place, San Diego Ca !!! Whoop whoop it up. Caught my 👁

[@charityhope7664]

They don't considering the current economy

[@davidfoust9767]

Gorgeous area! Definitely not affordable and far from any jobs but for higher income work from home people would be awesome.

[@mariagalbova9891]

Very interesting,beatifull.

[@jamespatterson1433]

This is awesome but you hit a a very sour note when I hear the $750 rent. Thats 18,750 a month on the low end you getting off your people. The whole reason of tiny house living is to break away from the man. I hate seeing setting high prices because of the "city markets". My thinking $450. But if you can get the used up, burned out city people, to pay, you can take advantage. I dont know your cost and taxes, but it seemed high. Im sure I have some kind of blind spot, but first impression is not good. But...you got a super location and a great thing going.

[@NaturalSweetTooth]

Its a rip off. You see he compared it to the regular market trying to justify his costly rent. My 1bd 1 bath and walkin closet is $460.

[@ShakeMyWay]

@@NaturalSweetTooth In San Diego (albeit the outskirts of San Diego County)?

[@NaturalSweetTooth]

@@ShakeMyWay no this is down south

[@ManufacturedHousingExpert]

Love the intro. Your videos being positive vibes.

[@msdebagain1]

goodness, i live in PV and didn't know about this place! how neat!

[@AmishNinjaMaster]

San Diego tiny home building codes must be SoCal laid-back - - OSHA certainly would not approve of that handrail construction and no barrier/railing in the loft (2:05).

[@cathycoryell2351]

Lack of railings, is part of why these tiny homes dont meet the "spirit of" building codes. The lack square footage requirements, operable windows for exit in fire, smoke detectors, etc. To meet permanent structure building codes, you need space. Some places go for the camper, class A mobile camper codes certificates.

[@jackyblue67same10]

I was really hoping the younge couple would show the inside of their home .

[@dinglebarry528]

That first home is gorgeous and seems so much bigger! And a full size real couch! I just can’t with the hard looking uncomfortable cubicle couches that we typically see in TH.

[@Sweetearth1958]

Looks like a trailer park situation to me.

[@sandragray4598]

So what if it is? They're still trying to build it into a community, not just a bunch of strangers that live in the same place/park.

[@googleme7754]

An expensive trailer park situation at that.

[@kelleybloom1637]

I thought so, too. The tiny homes aren't that nice, so rather than a true tiny home village, it appears to be a trailer park.

[@peachesentertainment2342]

hands down you are awesome you give a person of lessor some hope best one. (Little house) i have seen with area's that needed bedroom, bathroom, kitchen good job.!! GOD will continue ti bless you guys.

[@rosievasquez4378]

I love this tiny houses because y'all have bathrooms in them and the shower to take a shower so they're nice they're cool they're better than some of the tiny houses I've seen but the other tiny houses Del all the people you know to stay for rent and stuff but they give him more of a time. To stay at their houses ya'll say after day they leave they can stay first long as they want but and then that man found made a bigger homes for them that had showers and bathrooms for everyone that had their own house to sleep in and just only charges I'm like $299 and $300 to stay in their homes but the homes are nice they got enough room for two people not room for the refrigerator for the stove for the the microwave it's nice and it's got a little living room area the one that that other man has and the ones y'all have are cool too I love them I think they're cool but this other man help for homeless people that don't have a home to stay at

[@Douglas.Scott.McCarron]

Hi Jon, I just saw this video, this is great, good for you.

[@SoCalFreelance]

I've seen the mother daughter team featured before, they are getting some nice exposure. A shame the one couple introduced a pitbull into the community. If I was the landlord I would be like nope, too much liability.

[@andreamurphy1126]

The owners of THB need the rent $ from the land. As w any neighborhood, it's only as good as who lives next to you.

[@KittyKAT666Meow]

The place sounds great but something fishy about those two Scammers.

[@virgenitayamada3149]

I like this simple tiny house , after retirement i think i wanna live in tiny house

[@florencepearson1550]

You guys have done a wonderful job

[@barbaraheed3509]

This is great ! I live in Yuba and Sutter Co in N Cali and know one is allowed to have tiny homes. To have this type of homes would be a wonderful thing to have up here due to there is issues with affordability . I would absolutely love to go tiny. I'm 62 and I rent . I believe however that I could certainly afford to go tiny. Many folks would too but we have no access to doing so. I dream of having my own tiny these days. I wish this could happen up here that's for sure. Thanks for this video.

[@zigeunerweisen5879]

I want to know where the girl got her tiny crouching Toothless ( 13:17 figurine pet Rock toy)!! I'm almost green with envy! Lovely home that's all lived in! ♥️ Fantastic community.

[@Soren27]

The ridiculous prices kinda defeats the purpose of tiny living. For 1300 dollars a month you can just rent a house in the city and it will probably be a 3 bedroom.

[@meowmeowgreenersd2568]

No where in san diego will you be able to rent even an apt for that price 😂 that would be cool tho! I'd you find something like that, it's probably a Crack den in the ghetto but even then your gonna have to drop a couple grand. San diego is very expensive to live ;)

[@zenmode88]

The real challenge is having a small community like this constantly all up in your business... Trust me it gets old fast...

[@imayhaveadhd]

What's the difference between this and an apartment complex?

[@franwatkins5934]

Most tiny house rentals r $400 per month, quit gouging

[@billligon4005]

Can you build a 'tiny house' for handicapped people all on 'one' level??

[@JolieGaronne]

Beautiful place and intention, but even though I like to post positive messages around THOWs, the rent here is insane, especially to park your own Tiny, when we all know the water/sewage/trash cost is very low. Paying a rent to the owners is totally normal but this is very costly, and does not go well with the whole idea of living tiny, and CONSIDERABLY reduce expenses for people who can't afford a normal rent. Also, keep in mind many THOW owners are still paying a mortgage on it!

[@meowmeowgreenersd2568]

750 a month is expensive? When rent for a 1 bedroom in sd is over 2k, seems like a good deal to me. Utilities aren't cheap in san diego either so to be able to park your home for 800 a month (including Utilities) isn't bad at all. It's a beautiful drive to sd and doesn't take long to get off the mountain. There is work I'm alpine esp with the casino so you wouldn't have to go all the way into San diego to find a job.

[@mindyfabris3526]

Are any of those homes for sale and does it work like a mobile home park?

[@robertjdavisjr6493]

Wow . very nice. Would like to move there.

[@lorenzoclark3616]

That cute 150 sq ft. home needs a full porch.

[@cold10er]

Are there options like for long term folks to get satellite TV/internet etc

[@judil3294]

How do you get from the top of those "stairs" to the loft? crawl? You seem to have a stretch above the cabinets that has to be crossed without any protective railing.
