Thrilling Tiny House Travels to LA + Legalize Tiny Progress | S1 E16 Today's Tiny House Parking Spot

🚚🏠💨 Welcome to episode 16 of Today's Tiny House Parking Spot... we road tripped to Los Angeles! Our travels included fun roadside attractions to the 2nd tightest parking spot we’ve ever squeezed our tiny home on wheels into in our friend’s central LA driveway. We had a blast spending time with our friends Tessa and Shaina, cofounders of LATCH Collective-a tiny house community education and DIY building group. ✊ Perhaps the most exciting part of our stay was the HUGE advocacy victory: LA is now one crucial step closer to allowing THOWs as accessory dwelling in the city. If it passes, thousands of legal parking spots could become available! ✊ Another wonderful trip highlight was reconnecting with artist and tiny house dweller, Dominique Moody. Her tiny home is living work of art. She was an artist-in-residence with Side Street Projects, a community art & education project.

Hope you all had a wonderful holiday season! We're back with a new posting schedule: join us Thursdays for new episodes of Today's Tiny House Parking Spot, tiny home tours, how-to's and more! 😀

[@thirdeye9106]

Your information is so valuable to this country. Millions of struggling people need housing ... Thank you so much. From my heart i thank you for your work and for posting this video.

[@sappysamurai5170]

Great share guys! Thanks!

[@Mobile.recording]

Someone make a tiny parking airbnb type app

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

Yess! Could definitely be a market for this is LA now that the zoning ordinance recently passed!

[@julianroberts1596]

Fantastic I am moving from Australia to LA next year and would love to build a Tiny House and live in it in LA. Will the laws allow for living in Van Life conversions as well?

[@sunflowershawty5273]

Awesome !!! 😎🚗🏠

[@dawnbaker9274]

The whole reason for having your house on wheels is so you can make detours to see dinosaurs, right? 😆 👍💖

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

Exactly! 😁

[@charlieredeemed]

Awesome people!!!!!

[@KathrynLee5456]

Nicely done! Thanks for all your hard work for the Tiny house movement.

[@coachturner2]

It's a start. But I don't own a home and want to buy a small piece of land and put a tiny house on it for me and my two kids . Keep it up everyone.

[@KathrynLee5456]

Thanks for the work you do!!

[@imcharmed4evr]

That’s definitely on my bucket list!

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

Worth it!

[@sunflowershawty5273]

Go Caleb !! 👷‍♂️

[@deejaydark07]

That was awesome and thanks for sharing guys 😀

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

🙏☺️🍻

[@nonyabizness956]

You guys make me so excited to get my tiny house. Just a few more years of college and then I'm going for it 💪😁

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

Hell yeah! Best wishes with it!

[@melsparkles]

Awesome work guys...great video and info.

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

Thank you! 😊✨

[@thecosmicbug]

That gas bill makes my stomach hurt 😫😪 I can't wait to meet you guys one day, my husband and I look forward to it!

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

It definitely hurts. Can't wait until we have a heavy duty pickup; it will double our gas mileage! 😁 We would love to meet up! Stay tuned, we may be an announcing an AZ tiny house fest sooon.... 😉

[@thecosmicbug]

@@TinyHouseExpedition is it Christmas?! 😌 heck yeah!

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

Bri Gilmore Hall stay tuned! 😬🤞

[@MBMCincy63]

01/22/22 excellent@ parking! yay the Bengal's are doing well! Cincinnati

[@valendez777]

I go to LATTC too

[@GALAXIE262]

During the video you can see how slanted the tiny house is on the driveway, did you have to level it out? How did the neighbors react to you parking so close to their house?

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

Good catch! Unfortunately we were only able to partially level the house, because there wasn't enough room to place our levelers on the fence side. Our hosts we're kind enough to let the neighbors know we were coming. They were very curious and friendly; didn't mind us being there for a week. 😊

[@MsKG-nl5ot]

Was that Jurupa Valley where the Dino’s are at? I live in LA and on the fwy... it looks creepy, I guess not so bad after all. 😂

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

It’s the Cabazon Dinosaurs off Hwy 10, not far from Palm Springs. 👍😉

[@ritchierollo4610]

Movable tiny living space - Caravan.

[@ItsTheseMoments]

So excited! We've been waiting for this kind of news. We live in L.A. and want to buy a Tiny House! Will we be able to buy land and live in a Tiny House on it if it all passes? -Moniec

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

It will be groundbreaking if it gets approved! In the city movable tiny houses will only be allowed accessory dwellings, in back or possibly side yard of an existing house. The good news is the permitting process and cost, as presented, will be minimal. 👍👍 Because of the scarcity an high cost of land within the city, this is the most practical placement option.

[@ItsTheseMoments]

@@TinyHouseExpedition We are hoping for owning land in the out skirts and Pitt our tiny house on it. Well, baby steps. Hoping this is possible next.

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

Moniec, Milo & Miles Hayden exactly, one step at a time. 😊👍 Definitely get up with LATCH Collective and the Tiny Advocacy Network.

[@ItsTheseMoments]

@@TinyHouseExpedition yes we're definitely going too!❤

[@dfhepner]

Do you own the U-Haul truck or rent it? If renting, do you get a special rate? It seems like an expensive vehicle to use.

[@TheMangineer]

I'd like to know this too!

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

U-Haul is the generous truck sponsor for our in-production documentary. They lend us a truck, and we pay for gas. It hauls our 10,000lbs tiny house beautifully. They are great affordable, DIY tow vehicles for the occasional move. 👍 We use it like a mobile shed, where we store bicycles, extra tools, event materials, etc.

[@dfhepner]

Tiny House Expedition in 1974 when I moved my 40 ft park model travel trailer from Cheyenne to Seattle I had to cut off the 2 inch ball on the U/Haul truck put a larger ball on. It was an adventure in moving.

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

dfhepner wow, sounds like it! Fortunately U-Haul trucks now come with a Reese receiver, so you can use 2 5/16th ball. We can also hook up our electronic brakes. 👍

[@dfhepner]

Tiny House Expedition that reminds me that I had to use a manual electric break controller mounted to the driver side door

[@karenmccoy691]

Thanks for sharing your adventures! You are welcome to visit Louisiana anytime. I have a developing tiny house community in the Lafayette area, but more specifically located in Grand Coteau. Check out my place on Facebook: Burleigh Plantation, A Place for Tiny Homes

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

We would love too! Thank you for sharing! We’re excited to look up your community. 😊

[@JB-cq6ey]

I'm in LA so can I buy a small lot of land and plop a tiny home on it? Is that legal, if not what can I do?

[@rumotorizednosparknoride8644]

I live in 6x8 tiny house

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

Right on! Now that's tiny living. 😉😊

[@fionafiona1146]

Towing anything beyond 6k pounds is really difficult to sustain in Germany.

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

Good to know. 👍 Our tiny home is 10,000 and would be pushing it. A micro, one story tiny house on wheels might work better.

[@ZeoCyberG]

Most of the world has similar weight constraints... So check out tiny houses built in other countries like Australia, New Zealand, France, Scottland, Chile, etc. There's also a number of builders in Germany... Dreamwood (Hannover, Germany), FutteralHaus and LOFTMOBILE (Berlin, Germany), LTG Lofts to go Gmbh & Co.KG (Hamburg, Germany), Tiny House Belgium, Wohlwagen (Goettingen, Germany), etc... Steel framing, SIPs/MIPs, and other light weight material construction can help save a lot of weight but you also have to be careful not to exceed the road legal size limits as well... But if you don't need to move it regularly, you can consider modular designs that allow you to combine 2 or more units together... Like having sleeping and bathroom in one and kitchen and living room in the other, with a adjustable deck and overhang to connect them that can be an enclosed outdoor space... Or actually have them link together to form a larger structure... Alternatively, you can have a home base where the house docks into where you spend most of the year or just the winter but it can detach to be easily movable in the warmer months... Monolithic designs aren't the only way to do it...

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

Thanks for sharing! We would love to do a worldwide tour at some point to see these firsthand.

[@alanthomas6438]

i guess u rent a uhaul every time u go somewhere?

[@armenianchik]

Does anyone know how much is licensing and California state tax for having a tiny house on wheels? Let's say for $77,000.
