I'm so into this!
Especially with the crazy property prices in Melbourne and Sydney, it's a shame that councils haven't been more proactive in this regard. Given the small space to heat/cool it's so much easier to run off-grid.
Portland is the most hipsterest city in the US and they're still struggling to establish proper council rules for Tiny Homes... but they're working on it. We need to figure out if we want to stay here long term or not, but if we're do, we'll want to replace our current house.. and we'd live in a tiny house during the build.
Love that pizza oven! Hope you had an awesome weekend!
Was a great weekend, but like all weekends end and reality 'going back to work' returns.
They don't want to compete with other councils by giving you the option to easily move from one place to another.
that and doesn't fit all the other current money making models.i.e.no longer have to seek approval to put up a structure. If I had the money I'd buy a huge property and build an entire mobile smurf village and then just sell the smurf houses affordably...feel like living by the lake, no prob, communal truck pulls your house there this month..
Yeah, that's the way. Portland has that kind of thing, but for food trucks (that are often built in Tiny Homes)… there is a Tiny Home hotel here, which is exactly as you describe... but because it's a business, absolutely no problems.
There was a case here where a couple was living in a tiny home in their parents backyard... and the council literally kicked them out even though there was a proper dwelling on the land and they obviously had permission to be there... that case villianised the council, the media made a thing about it so now the Mayor is trying to make it happen, since everyone is so angry about it and there literally isn't enough accommodation for all the people moving to Portland.
Sometimes it takes everyone losing their mind to create change...
