The Micro-Mansion Movement

I heard about the "tiny house" thing years ago. Actually, folks experimented with it way back in the old days (1970's, Whole Earth Review/Coevolution Quarterly, etc). But it appears to be rising to notice in the general media.
At least in the New Yorker
Annals of Design:  Let’s Get Small: The rise of the tiny-house movement by Alec Wilkinson  July 25, 2011 http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2011/07/25/110725fa_fact_wilkinson

Could this be a new niche sector for the lagging construction industry?

One of the resources Wilkinson points out in the New Yorker article:
The Tiny House Blog
http://tinyhouseblog.com/

Be sure to check out that blogs Links page.

Smaller foot print anyone?
