#HomeTinyHome

This post refers to articles that appeared in a month of May Westword Magazine distributed in Denver , CO.  

There are battles going on in the Denver Metro area between people who want to build small houses on their property ( usually as an additional living space ) and their neighbors.   And of course ...  the city government.  Government could not expand and tighten it's tentacles around our creative little necks if it did not jump into every dispute that it could.  Below are some links to Westword articles on the subject.

I can sympathize with a neighbor who is dismayed by the appearance of a *something* in an adjoining yard that they do not approve of.  If you read the articles in Westword , you get the sense that some of the infuriated neighbors have gone into that amygdala-driven rage where there is nearly 100% loss of rational thought.  Full blown emotions are in charge.  Overblown descriptions of the situation emerge.  People are sad    People are unhappy    Unless, of course , bad blood is what they thrive on ( see government agents ).

Some of these living spaces are being built to become rentals.  The success of Airbnb is one reason.  I like the idea of Airbnb.

I will admit I have a bias against government regulators , gov inspectors , gov agents ( police , fireman , etc ) ..... the put a dent in my creativity and that is what I live for. ( Plus they are often really mean ) If I want freedom of action.... I feel that logically I must extend that courtesy to others.  I live for the realization of the #IPPParadigm.  ( A buzzing hive of individual efforts )

Mostly I side with the builders of tiny homes.  I encourage them to do everything they can make their neighbors happy.  One thing I have always favored but seen very little of is underground construction.  Imagine a house where 90% of it is underground and the part that projects is tall and narrow.  A grouping of these houses would look more like a forest than a housing area.

The most important philosophical tenet in my world is the *Won Commandment* ...... Let thy neighbor alone.  If everyone practiced that.... what a more funner world we would have.  It would be Win-Win.        #WonCommandment


I once had a 40 foot long former city bus that I had converted into a workshop with bathroom.  I was hounded so much, I scrapped it for $700 ..... sob !
