Tiny home communities exist across the US, and they do little to create slums. If anything, they provide income to cities on infill, vacant and underdeveloped land. They allow for gentle densification without major rezoning, and can add subtlety and creativity to neighbourhoods. They are no different than a laneway house, except our definition of a tiny house is moveable and therefore on wheels. Land cost is an issue and we are exploring this through our Go Tiny project. We are in talks with Vancity and RBC to explore tiny house mortgages and how a tiny house would impact land value. Lots more to explore!
