The Washington Post<\/a> writes about a new trend happening in the alleyways of DC. Tiny 200 square foot homes are springing up in Northeast DC.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is the dream,\u201d says Rin Westcott, 28, who lives in Columbia and came out on a wintry Saturday afternoon bundled in a flower hat to help her friend Lee Pera with a tiny-house raising.<\/p>\n

Pera, 35, wore safety goggles as she treated the cedar boards of her \u201clittle house in the alleyway,\u201d one of three under construction in what is thought to be one of the country\u2019s first tiny-house model communities.<\/p>\n

If these affordable homes \u2014 which maximize every inch of interior space and look a little like well-constructed playhouses \u2014 are the dream, they represent a radically fresh version of what it takes to make Americans happy.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, you can imagine what the Post would be saying about these people building tiny houses if there was a Republican President. But, not a peep about the White House being unable to resurrect the economy, just this;<\/p>\n

Although the diminutive homes are made of high-quality materials, they are priced for a flagging economy. They sell for $20,000 to $50,000, less than the down payment on a two-bedroom condo in a trendy D.C. neighborhood.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

A “flagging economy” is all they squeeze out of their Thesaurus. By the way, that $50k price tag is more than half of what I paid for this three bedroom house on 5 acres, so enjoy yourselves down there with your doll-house sized home in the city that I recently abandoned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
