Size DOES matter! Is smaller better? That’s NOT what she said!

I often wonder where city people are going to go in the future when every single thing has been converted into a luxury hi-rise condo with amenities or a low income housing block.

If the alternative to city living means being more practical and frugal with our resources, I fail to see that much of a drawback. The only problem I see with tiny living is inclement weather, and being trapped in one for 8 months of the year because the snow outside is literally up to the sills. I’ve had enough snow to last me a lifetime, and you probably have too if you live in the North East.

The impact is evident, living large does not have to include copious amounts of stuff & insane square footage to store that stuff in. After a while you stop owning things & they start owning you.
