Dear Dee, I have so much respect for you. What you create is awesome!! I lost my wife last year, and my job, I live on social security as you call it in the U.S. We, the whole world are in a crisis now and its affecting everyone. Its rediculous to pay about 480 euro’s every month to have a small tiny spot on mother earth, and additional costs!! I would come over and live there in a small home by tommorow!!

Its all about being content!! Wish you good fortune!! Jack

@pheenix42 : Austerity is disenfranchisement. This presentation promotes living on the fly.

My respect lies not so much with Dee but instead with her wonderful friend. I know of NO ONE-either friend or family-who would let me park that thing-BIG ass solar panels and all-in their backyard and NOT demand rental space for the land! Furthermore, in many states it would qualify as a SECOND home on one’s lot and that would RAISE the property tax of the landowner!

@ThePsycheSociety
Jay owns a REAL home that is right next door to his tiny house. His wife made him buy it after she found out she was expecting their first child. And NO, the real house is BIGGER than the mere 500 square feet he said they were gonna buy,lol. This kind of living is ok for a single, younger adult, but when you are raising a family or when you get up in age it’s an altogether different matter.

@procommenter It promotes it to those that are looking for it. These houses appeal to those that are already in the mindset of “living on the fly.” If you have very limited income or have an extraordinarily green outlook, then why not downsize accordingly?

@qwe07 : This presentation propagandizes the corporate-media-driven notion that middle-class citizens are greedy, spoiled brats who are boisterously unrepentant & uncaring in regards to the fragility of our smited mother (Mother Earth). As piss-poor stewards of the land they must be “apartmentalized”/compartmentalized, penned, caged, tracked, drugged, vaccinated & driven into receivership & serfdom by confiscatory taxation.

@procommenter I (obviously) disagree. I see a woman and some others that CHOOSE to live this way. People come to this lady because they WANT to. Is the media REALLY pushing this notion? Where/how often have you seen it? Additionally, I don’t recall anyone in this video mentioning directly or indirectly being caged, tracked, drugged, vaccinated, or driven into receivership and serfdom by confiscatory taxation. If you found this in the video, please point it out. I simply don’t see it here.
