A duty of care

[emeraldsedai]

My two sisters and I weathered a crisis over the summer in which our mother, 88, underwent three surgeries. The third one was an emergency, during which she was taken from her condo on a stretcher, to the emergency room, to surgery, to rehab, and thence to her new assisted living apartment

Yeah, tiny houses are the way to go. I hope to have one one day.

Zone codes are changing in cities all over the country. For most of the time I've owned my 1906 house, city code wouldn't have permitted me to build another one as small (it's 600 square feet).

Now they're popping up all over the place. No single person needs many more square feet than that, especially if the floorplan is thoughtful. And the single-person household is the fastest growing category in a lot of places.

The idea that people like me should be forced to buy MORE house than I need is ridiculous. I hope you can get your small or tiny house!
