it's all a boon to state controlling more land....

Agenda 21.

This makes me want to go and sink every penny feasible into building the biggest house I can.

OK, thanks. Now...just what is the difference between a "tiny home" and a "trailer"? I have nothing against smaller places, it's just that it's not as new and radical as the hipster movement seems to make it. People have lived in trailers, small mobile homes and small cabins for a long time. And we have a great number of communities to support the lifestyle. They have typically been known as "campgrounds", "trailer courts" or "mobile home communities".

Is Toyman still in here blabbering about how Tiny Homes are just trailers? C'mon man, it's been almost a week and you're repeating the same thing over and over. We get it, you think they're all trailers. Move on buddy.

The difference is most people don't live in rural areas, or trailer parks, or in the woods. A tiny house can indeed be mobile, but not all mobile homes are tiny houses. It's a mostly urban based, perhaps even hipster, movement.

I said the exact same thing to Toyman like 10 pages back. The guy must be a robot programmed to repeat the same thing over and over again.

And yet, you still try to pretend they are not...

Hipsters are in denial that they are becoming the very "trailer trash" (a term most people find highly offensive) they liked to condemn for the last 2 decades.

Smaller house = less upkeep, less taxes, less $$$$$$ sunk into it overall

= more $$$$ for drugs, partying and slacking

that is why Hipsters may opt for it...

Add cheap beer into the mix and...depending on the location and choice of clothing....you have trailer trash.

lol...it's true..it's true

Sshhhh... Don't give away the actual insidious truth behind Agenda 21. Our ploy to use the tax and personal savings from sustainable living to establish a single payer beer distribution system must not be compromised!
