Anyone who has spent time around me will eventually hear about my driving goal to become a homeowner. (I can be a little obsessive about it at times.) So there was something about Jay Shafer's Tiny Houses that made me sit up and take notice.
Not only are the wee little dwellings adorable, but would actually be within my price range (ok, assuming I had a wee little plot of land on which to put one, too). Alas, I am a massive consumer of space. I'd say that it comes from growing up in a giant Victorian rooming house such as Irving Place, but my siblings can each fit almost all of their worldly goods into my living room--when they move, they only need a car....or a grocery trolley. I'd have to totally rethink my relationship with furniture and possession. Which might be good for me, actually.

Well, he's in California, so presumably he's familiar with seismic codes. I don't know if I could live in anything other than the 16' X 16', since I probably have even more stuff than you do (I'd surmise it's more of a hereditary trait than an environmental one).
