This guy is pretty cool... he figures why spend $300 grand for a house when he can build a tiny one for $17 grand. I will say though, I think this idea is only feasible for folks who don't get six months of winter like we do in Canada.
His idea is featured on the homepage of Yahoo.
There have always been people doing creative innovative things like this, but with the recession still in effect (two years since the DOW crashed and we're still about 40 percent below it's peak 2007 levels) stories about innovative ways of living are starting to pop up.
One thing that's really surprised me is that PR and marketing folks don't seem to be leveraging the recession at all.
I look at myself and I've canceled my cable television... I was able to do that because of my Netgear box and yet you won't see Netgear marketing itself as a way to save money during the recession.
There are so many amazingly innovative companies out there with products that have the ability to really redefine how we live, yet they don't position themselves that way - probably because it's outside their marketing comfort zone.
