The Next Little Thing? - NYTimes.com

The Next Little Thing? - NYTimes.com: "Mr. Janzen has become interested in the small house movement, whose adherents believe in minimizing one’s footprint — structural as well as carbon — by living in spaces that are smaller than 1,000 square feet and, in some cases, smaller than 100. Tiny houses have been a fringe curiosity for a decade or more, but devotees believe the concept’s time has finally arrived."

The New York Times has discovered a nonexistent trend. The "small house movement..has finally arrived"? I think not.

I'd love to get one of those tiny houses to use as an office, but my hoa (along with all others in the area) forbids "sheds." Building outside the standard production home footprint is also forbidden.

Is there any part of the country where the hoa CCRs *don't* forbid them?
