Tiny village blog

It has been a year since I started this project, and as we
reach 250 members, I would say we are experiencing
a tiny revival in the Tiny House Village Network.

Earlier this month, I was struggling with the idea that
this network wouldn't be sustainable. But then several
members pulled together and offered to help, and now
we are stronger than ever.

Now we are looking for leaders to take this project
forward. If you are interested in moving beyond the web
network to create an actual village, please join us.

Thanks for the mentions! Please join us and support
this growing community.

Today is a historic day, marking the growth of our network
to 100 charter members in just 5 weeks.

This notable grassroots expansion demonstrates how huge
gaps in the system have left us wanting more (or,
actually, less).

Americans from all over the country are joining us and
clammering for the same thing:

1. the ability to live in a small, affordable home without
   breaking any laws in the process;
2. the opportunity to "park" that home on a small piece
   of land;
3. to live with other like-minded people and maybe grow
   some food together.

To paraphrase, we just want to live a little more simply.

These requests should not be complicated, but because of
the bloated housing industry, distorted municipal codes
and unnecessary zoning laws, they are incredibly difficult
for the average person to navigate.

It's hard for me to express how important I think this
project is. The numbers should speak for themselves: home
vacancy rates soar, tent cities are on the rise, more and
more people are living in and around the edge of poverty.

The Tiny House Village Network is 100 people strong today.
Let's make something of it! Please join us and help us on our
journey for a new era of affordable small housing.
