the sky in iquique chile is so clear, you see the milky way almost every night

it is amazing

with that in mind i would put some sort of roof, iquique is a desert and its windy, so I would imagine sand would get all over the place!

Inside. "Winters" actually mild but too cold without a roof.

An tiny house with a roof. I already live in a small flat by American standards so that makes no difference to me.

Obviously I would need a roof. I might as well live outside otherwise.

Need a roof for many reasons. What about sun exposure?

Iquique - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Given a choice, if you lived in Iquique, would you choose A) A large home with a lot of large rooms with no roof or B) a small house with a roof ?
Mate, I would live there fall-stop!! LOL

Just get a tent

I like how there is always one dummy who votes for the odd choice.
