forced into smaller homes,smaller plots of land, higher food prices forcing people into eating more vegetables and forgoing meat...

In not saying these FORCED necessities are a conspiracy,,,

It's a result of moving people into smaller and smaller incomes because of taxes, Obamacare, higher gas prices, higher food prices...

Man! Okay..you make good points with the "force" end of it... I just thought they were cute and reminded me of little starter gulch houses..... so sue me! (I wasn't advertising them, I don't work for their sales department. I thought they were a neat idea.....)

When I was growing up the family was living in around 11 sq ft of house. Space was a non stop problem for the 5 of us. The result was that when I could start making choices for myself I always go with more square feet than it look like I need. My Victorian in Milwaukee is around 3000 sq ft. I had rooms that were just empty, I liked it that way. Also, the full bathroom on the second floor was bigger than some of the micro houses out there. Heck, the full bathroom was bigger than the bedroom I shared when I was a kid. The heated floor also meant it was warmer..

I like the concept, and for touring the country with some comfort, I think it would be preferable to me over a giant RV.

At some point it will be one cold winter too many and I'm out of here. This would be an interesting way to leave.

Don't joke about that. If things do become SO bad that we are forced to bail on America, we may need to have a barracks as an intermediate before building homes on Atlantis.
