It's called "The Tiny House Movement" and it's for people who like cute little tiny houses.  There's no sinister implication or secret meeting where "they" get together and try to find ways to take away whatever crap you spent all your beer money on.  It's akin to the airstream clubs or yacht clubs or cob house trend. ...more

Oooh, I have one: spontaneous new hobbies.  I have friends whose basements and hall closets are full of skis they never ski with, craft supplies that are getting dusty and rusty, model train landscapes that will never be finished or played with, "rare, one-of-a-kind" beanie babies that will surely be worth billions one...more
