Frazz by Jef Mallett for May 08, 2018

I prefer a small space. As long as there’s enough room for your things. I don’t see why you’d want a mansion. Seems like it would just be a ton of work.

Low cost house on expensive real estate is irony. To even consider paid housekeeping for that space takes it all the way to ridiculous. But then, there are those who pay phenomenal prices for clear-cut lots and build over-priced homes on them, then spend the next year wondering why the distance between their house and the next one downhill seems to get shorter every time it rains.

I could live in one.

We live in a small apartment. I would love a bigger house, two or three more rooms. However a house where you need a motorbike to go from one room to the next one within the next hour is a tad too big.

Tiny house. Formerly known as “singlewide.”

I think a lot of people find the idea appealing…until it becomes reality. I lived in my 23 foot camper for a few months after moving. Too confining.

The “Tiny Home” phenomena is NOT for me. While I could easily have a normal home anywhere from 600 to 3000 square feet, and it would be workable depending on the size of my family. The major facet of the “Tiny Home” (television shows) is to be so small as to make “everything” you live in basically one room…. and that typically includes a composting toilet. To me, that would be akin to basically living in a cat litterbox. Blech.

If we took out all the sanctimonious Frazz strips, how often would it run? Maybe twice a week?

In the thirties I lived in a 22 foot square house with an outdoor outhouse and a coal burner in the corner. Four room 2 bedroom, living room and dining kitchen combo. A 4 foot closet for 4 people. Believe me, A tiny house for 2 maybe, never for more.

I will amend my statement about cheap houses on expensive land: I would build an inexpensive home on a hundred acres or more of wild open lands near a national park, because the land would be more important to me than my living space. Would not build the same house on an expensive lot in a sub division or a ranchette.

Always laugh at the people on TV that make a big deal out of only spending $110,000 for their new tiny house, when they could get a rarely used AirStream trailer with more room, smaller footprint, and way more dependable. It’s a silly millennial fad that probably will die out soon.
