Why,why,why live in tiny houses? One big reason is that the cost of building a tiny house is very small compared to a normal american house. The average cost of a tiny house is between US$200-US$400 per square foot. Another reason is that tiny houses are ideal in situations where a person would want to move somewhere else. The person just puts it on wheels and drives the house to the new area, Instead of paying for plane tickets. Living in a tiny house will also consume less electricity and less work cleaning. The last reason is that tiny houses are being built to help homeless people to have their own home.

However many exist throughout the US, states such as Washington, Texas and California in the countryside. There are also tiny houses built in different countries. So now would you like to live tiny?

Reasoning
Reasons,decisions on design, personal impact statement. My decision on my design of my tiny house was to keep my bed on the second floor so my first floor wasn't so occupied. My house looked strange because I had to make them the right measurements so after that it became weird. It is good to build a Tiny house because you economize a lot. I think my house was small compared with my other class mates. Also I think I should have spent items that where nicer and more expensive. I economized a lot of money for other thing, I think the house is one of the most important things, (shelter). I should have used more the money I had. I should also have added a solar panel. It is good to have Tiny houses because it helps the environment. It is good for people that don't like loosing things like small houses and they live alone. Plus if you don't buy lot's of supplies for your house. For me it is better to have money then owe. Last but not least I would not love living in one because they aren't so spacious and it feels like the there isn't space maybe if you make you house all colorful it may look like it is bigger however it isn't. Last I really enjoyed this Tiny house project and I am up for more!
