Maybe Your House is Too Big

Despite our isolation, Humboldt was certainly not immune to the recent real estate market collapse and/or general economic downturn, leaving many to question the viability of their current pace of consumption. Stuff, man. How much do we need? Whoa.

If your brain won’t shut up about related dilemmas, perhaps your life would benefit from the simplification the suddenly-super-logical tiny home movement is promising. Less cleaning! Maybe you happened upon the kinda jarring trailer for that Netflix-able documentary Tiny: A Story About Living Small online (if not, see it below). Makes a lot of sense, no?

Why do we mention all this in Lowdown land? Well, Wednesday night at Northtown Books, author Lloyd Kahn will give a talk on the joys of mini-houses as part of a presentation of his new book Tiny Homes on the Move: Wheels and Water. The book focuses on “people who have chosen to build and inhabit homes that are tiny and mobile. They don’t pay rent to a landlord, nor do they have lifetime mortgage obligations to a bank.” Could be personally revelatory. Who knows?

Other more traditional Lowdown going out options in your listings below.
