Moveable Tiny Houses Now Legal In the City of Los Angeles (That's 4m, 2nd largest city!!)12/17/2019 YES !! Yahoo!! Jumping for Joy!! Excited about our future!! Thank you Council members and all who made it happen (Dan, Tessa, and all legalize Tiny Supporter) !!
For the first time a major city has said yes to Moveable Tiny Houses (2nd largest city in the US with population of 4 m+...I'd say that's major). This is a watershed moment in history and we are all here to witness and benefit from it. What this really means is homeowners and those choosing to live Tiny, have within their power the opportunity to create affordable housing on their own terms in a quick affordable and efficient way. I call this fast affordable housing. I just read the blog post that Alexis created about the news of the City of Los Angeles approving Moveable Tiny Homes as Accessory Dwelling Units and seeing as how they are the creators of this awesome T-shirt I'm showing off at the Chataqua park in Boulder, CO, I'm going to have them explain more about this momentous occasion of LA saying YES to Tiny Homes! Click here to read more about this awesome news. https://tinyhouseexpedition.com/city-of-la-moves-forward-with-tiny-house-zoning/ PS I am honored to say that Alexis and I are co-directors of membership committee for the Tiny Home Industry Association. This is going to be a big year for THIA and adding great members to our growing Tiny Home Tribe will help the industry grow with integrity and quality, sharing it with so many who stand to benefit from affordable housing...possibly in their backyard!

Since leaving Ukiah, CA March 1, 2019, Eric and I (Lindsay is writing) have been on a journey that has taken us 2500+ miles around the Southwest and into Texas. We are so relieved to have the opportunity to spend 3 whole weeks in the amazing Santa Fe, New Mexico. From the beautiful mountains and great outdoors vibe to the people we've met, to a local coop, dance scene, and Kombucha brewery we are officially smitten with Santa Fe! How we got here starts with friends and dance. Since the 90's, I've been free form dancing all over the San Francisco bay area. Dance to me is my gym. It's where I get to move my body and release any tension that has built up from driving or staring at a computer screen and with this trip those are two very common realities. Another good thing about dance is it tends to attract other amazing souls and over the years I am proud to say that all of my nearest and dearest friends are dancers. One of those dearest friends is Raina Satori, amazing clothing designer, shamanic cheerleader founder and all around amazing woman! Raina knew Ana Biel who lives in Santa Fe and is very connected with the dance community as a dancer and a DJ Upon rolling into Santa Fe, NM for the Thursday "Embodied Rhythm" dance, we were met with Ana and after two hours of dancing people are invited to circle, share names, any experience we had on the dance floor and promote any event that is going on in the community. I shared we are looking for a space to park our Tiny Home and John with Enchanted Cafe Bulletin Board shared he had land and within that moment our boondocking in Santa Fe National Forest plan got shelved and here we are three weeks later. Thank you to Raina, Ana, John, Michael, Mohammed, Crow, Billy, Ray, Bettina, Rama and the two pedicab dudes that drove us around the infamous old town square while standing and dancing on the pedicab. Santa Fe you are forever in our hearts. Santa Fe Tiny Home perspective...like most states, Santa Fe does have an accessory dwelling unit ordinance allowing land owners to build a small home in the backyard. However they do not yet allow for Moveable Tiny Homes like they now do in the city of Fresno and San Luis Obispo, CA. With the amazing couple, Rama and Bettina at the helm of Santa Fe Tiny Houses, it's only a matter of time and we want to be here when that happens. As movie buffs we recognize there are typically three acts to every movie.
It all starts with the preamble where the hero/heroine demonstrates their powers. In the first act they use their powers but it doesn't go so well. The second act, they try harder and so does the villain. The third act the hero/heroine overcomes the villain with their superpowers utilized in a new way. Our tiny Home Journey in three acts... Our preamble was leaving our careers, moving from our comfortable home, and significantly downsizing our belongings. Our first act was choosing a builder who went out of business in the middle of building our Tiny Home. Our second act was a 6 month process of completing our tiny home. Our third act is getting our Tiny Home on the road, against all odds and stepping into the life of digital nomads. |
