Here's an interesting idea...It's a service that offers tiny homes and it will move them from city to city. They claim they cost less than half the price of a studio apt.

I'd love something like this...except the homes are just a little too small for me. And it would be even cooler if you could put them on train cars and/or tow them yourself.

    That would be an awesome franchise business. Like Uhaul only move the whole house/apt.

  • Basically, inner-city trailer parks.

    I like it.

    That is a great idea ... not for me though. I don't want to live in a cube inside another big building with a bunch of other people living in cubes inside the building. I love the tiny homes, but in a nice rural setting.

    You can tow some of them yourself. Google tiny homes on wheels.





    And here's some really tiny homes on wheels.

  • That's the way I feel too. No city - no apartment. Lots of land - few neighbors. As far as tiny homes on that land. Works just fine for me.

    • My OP wasn't about tiny houses really. We've already had a number of threads about tiny homes. It was more about a cool new idea that makes it easy and efficient for people to change locations.


      Too many people wanting "space" is why nature is being infringed upon so badly. IMO, people should all be crammed into as little space as possible and let nature have as much space as possible.

  • Whereas those would be a great idea if they were arranged side by side, stacking them on top of each other is going to create any number of problems.

    What happens if the guy/gal on the ground level wants to move? Are they going to take all the other levels off to facilitate this move. All the residents above will need to evacuate their homes before that can take place. And so on.

    The only way that's going to work in the real world is if the homes are permanet and not movable from one location to another.

    • They're not actually "stacked". According to the video, they fit into a larger structure that's already in place.

  • The homes look a little fragile but it does look like a nice idea.
  • I could never live in one but I love the imagination behind it. Fantastic.

    • Yeah, problem for me is the space deal.

      Stickin' me in one of those gonna be like fixin' a mask on Lecter when he's crazy for chianti.

      But it's a cool idea & a good solution for some.

      Buncha those sheds could work as a mobile mansion if you snapped 'em together right.

      But you gotta figure it might make for chaos on the highway.

      Some guy movin' his swim pool from Boston to Frisco gonna mebbe crash and drown ya.
  • Good idea for someone who has to stay in an area for months at a time.
    Like construction engineers, crews or managers.

    Watch out for thieves taking the whole house.
  • It would be good for, perhaps, a single person; or, maybe even a college student. However, for a family of two or more I don't think it would be too kosher... it'd be too close for comfort in my opinion.
  • Hey, mebbe size don't matter here an' we gotta think big.

    Planet gonna groan an' push up mountains till we **** on her, gonna dish all manner of storms like a moon blows tides.

    Cities built on ignorance of alla that stuff are regular new history — blown in a girl storm, drowned in a flood, dumped into a spread open c*nt of seismic luck.

    Tellya, all brick built on rock burns or drowns in the end.

    Earth's big, she's a mother.

    So, gotta figure in the future we gonna know better than hittin' on streams an' hills for where to pitch up our fort.

    Our teched-up X's gonna mark the no-go volcanic hotspots & such.

    Gonna drop home wherever we wanna fly all our stuff.

    Dunno what happens to cities and landmarks in this new deal, guess it kinda depends on who's around, but unless we wanna watch shit get ****ed on by sumthin' way more ballsier and growsier and frickin' cosmos-spawned than anything we can stick in the ground right now, mebbe boxes Hogwarts-staircaisin' pan-planet gonna be an option.

    Live wherever ya want, switch an' change an' flash about the planet, cruise the joint in your own personal space.

    Drop down into nowhere an' everywhere town.

    Find no place, anyplace.
