Comments on: The tiny house movement http://enjoymentland.com/2009/11/05/the-tiny-house-movement/ A loosey goosey meditation on making an enjoyable life with a 1-person company Thu, 17 May 2012 03:56:39 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.3 By: Michael Janzen http://enjoymentland.com/2009/11/05/the-tiny-house-movement/comment-page-1/#comment-679 Michael Janzen Thu, 05 Nov 2009 19:37:17 +0000 http://enjoymentland.com/?p=724#comment-679 While Jay's houses are a bit on the expensive side they are incredibly beautiful. If you get a chance to visit one it's worth going out of your way to see it. Jay often does design and building workshops around the US so he may be coming to a neighborhood near you soon. I think it's also important to mention that 'tiny' isn't necessarily the right thing to focus on... 'freedom' is probably a better measure. Downsizing everything from possessions to debt gives us back more time and energy. I think that's the true lesson if you read between the lines.

People are no longer searching for bigger and "badder" things. Rather, people want things that are simple... things they can make the best use of with little waste (both wasted time and wasted resources). "Quality over quantity." I love it!
