That's a really nice place he's got there.

There wouldn't be enough place for my books if I had a house like that, but I'd still like to have one just for fun

I'm very conservative so I love this. I have a 4 member family right now so 100 wouldn't do it but why not make a modular design - reminds me of the 1950's House of Future which was small and highly functional but never went anywhere. I would definitely support abandoning the laws to protect mortgage values - they tanked already with them so what good are they?

Why would want to live in anything this small unless you had no choice but to. At least make it the size of an average living room or something.

edit on 9/23/2011 by mnmcandiez because: (no reason given)

1) You build it yourself.
2) You get higher quality for less expense (compared to a home or mobile home).
3) You don't actually need much space but 100 sq-ft would push my comfort zone.

I would like to see a plug-n-play design - still with the same portability to expand it to 200 or 300 sq-ft and accommodate more people.

I would caution that raising children in this will eventually get you a visit from the state and your children will be at risk of being stolen from you - for no other reason than you are challenging the status quo.

If you could add 1, 2 or 3 small bedrooms with lofts for sleeping, in addition to the loft space, and build an entire neighborhood of these, you could start putting an end to homeless for people with family's. I would imagine rent would be affordable enough some even the extreme poor. While it would be difficult for a family with children to live in a house that small, it would be better than a tent or a motel room.
