Ms Connolly does not live in a tiny house herself, but she has started building them and hopes to start a village offering the affordable homes for people in need to live in.
"That's the difference that I find with the older single women and men that I am talking to," she said."I have been hearing stories of people who have paid into their children's yards and got a granny flat built.
When will we get a critical review, rather than just another agenda plank?
No they’re not.
Welcome to post-apocolyptic Australia.
It’s gets messy if you’re too much junk crap 💩 collection around. People live in caravans of similar space without problems. Affordable ? Yes, because if you r middle age or older this is affordable and don’t cost $500 mil with life time repayment
I really admire Kim Connolly for her efforts to provide home security for older single women. It is vital. One thing to consider though, is that many tiny houses have an upper level with steep stairs. That can mean it is not practical in the long term.
The owner says moving the tiny house makes it disaster proof. Not all bushfires provide enough warning to evacuate. Bushfire seasons are getting longer, you would need to relocate for many months. Tiny houses, ‘glamping’ tents etc, need to consider their bushfire resilience
It depends on whether or not ppl keep more things than they need to function & Im sure if that's what ppl can afford then its better than a tent in the weather or a poke in the eye.
'It gets messy really quickly' Tiny houses, sound a lot like tiny minds
If like me you grew up in overcrowded small-space poverty, you’ll have been rolling your eyes for a while now about tinyhouses Modern aesthetics don’t make ‘small’ liveable. It’s a next level capitalist con.
It gets messy really quick.... I don’t care how big or small your house is, put a few kids in it....
Plus if someone farts in the bedroom you can smell it in the livingroom.
