Hit the wholesale meats, learn to bake some bread, and start a small veggie farm. Life would be great . Eating healthy,thinking healthy,and getting some good old excercise ...of course, you still need some form of getting online...
I wouldn't call her completely self-sufficient if she's parked in her parent's land. And she didn't show her bathroom...

I couldn't long-term and can't see myself doing it short-term either. I heard you got to find a place to "put the dock down," and so you're basically paying rent on top of whatever payment you might have for your tiny home. Some of the tiny homes are like $100,000. I'm like are u f ing for real?!

This is why I can't with a tiny home. I saw some on HGTV and they didn't even have a sink in the bathroom meaning people would have to use the kitchen sink. Yuck! And then many are not connected to a sewer line and so they do the composting thing.

I used to go upstate very regularly and I would not want to stay in a tiny house.

When I want to stay in a small space, I go camping. I do that a lot.

I used to visit friends in the Bronx that lived in a tiny 2 room apartment in a high rise guarded by vigilante residents.

At noon on Friday, they headed for their A frame cabin 2 hours out of NYC. It was their way of life.

If I had to work in NYC, I couldn't blame them for wanting out of that rat race commute to downtown in all kinds of weather walking to the subway.

I've decided I'm more the cabin type for a weekend getaway (like some of the cabins that were shown on my original post). There are tiny house communities but then I'm thinking what's the difference between a tiny house and a trailer?

Nope. No, tiny houses for me unless I was straight out of college and under 25.

I'm shocked that there is not a tiny house community on some plots of land in parts of NYC. Then again, there could be and I just don't know.

What's with the sudden interest in all of our threads?

Is Alabama code for "Spain"?

I'm watching closely...

This tiny house is located in Sydney, Australia. In Rochester, NY, you could probably used it for eight weeks between a late spring and an early fall. Can't imagine it is easy to heat in harsh upstate NY winters. But, the pictures are beautiful - like a dream to social isolated New Yorkers on another raining day.

Or you could just buy... a REGULAR suburban (smaller) home in a nice Rochester neighborhood and dispense with all the silly "tiny house" faddishness...
