Tiny House Movement
The Tiny House movement is a social and architectural movement advocating living simple in small homes. It is a broad movement and encompasses: people looking to escape the debt trap of a 30 year mortgage, self builders who want to be free from building codes (by building on a trailer for example), people wanting to live sustainable / energy efficient, or simply to save money and edit their lives of unnecessary clutter. Some blogs: The Tiny Life , LittleDiggs , Tiny House Blog. And A Documentary: We the Tiny House People.
