After struggling to find an apartment rental in London on a budget, Harrison Marshall turned a dumpster into a tiny home for $5,000. Here's a look inside his "weirdly comfortable" 25-square-foot space, where he now lives for $62 a month.

Micro-houses are cool. The minimal cost and maintenance is really appealing. Having to do it because everything else is unaffordable is not.

It’s even worse now that boutique builders are making tiny homes with aged cheddar wood and once in a century nails and crap. Houses in general should have never been made financial investments. It’s shelter.

It’s normal to me, I’ve been living in a van for 3 years, I love everything about it, in fact I read your comment which reminded me this is a novel atypical lifestyle, which then reminds me that many people take exception to it, are uncomfortable that we exist, which is the only thing I don’t like about this lifestyle, that mainstream society stigmatizes us.

But for those of us who get a thrill out of living tiny, and living anywhere/everywhere, and freedom from rent/mortgage, aaah this is FREEDOM
