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.

The Tiny House Village Network was born on Tuesday,
February 24th, 2009.

In the first week we had 50 Charter Members join.

If we can wildly exceed my expectations in the first week,
how much can we get done in the first year?

Let me just put this out there: I would love to celebrate the
network's one-year anniversary by visiting the first tiny
house village.

Yes, we are seeking movers and shakers -- builders,
developers, parks people, land owners and tiny house
enthusiasts alike. Please join us and help make things
happen.

Charter Members will be accepted for a limited time.
