Technically my family is homeless. I mean, if you go by the government's definition. We don't pay utilities. We don't have a mortgage or rent (thank my parents!). We have a bed to sleep on by the grace of my parents' goodness.
If something happened to my parents tomorrow, we would need some place to live. Fast.
Honestly, if Christian made his current salary in 1000s of other places in the US we could make ends meet. We would still have $1000 in loan payments every month, but at least we wouldn't have to worry about housing.
California is rough.
Santa Barbara is one of if not the absolute worst.
There is currently a lottery for the possibility of affordable housing. And this housing? Studios through 2 bedroom condos.
Wow.
Really helpful guys.
Totally perfect for those of us who want to start a family and possibly grow.
I have no interest in trying to saddle myself with a $400K mortgage to live in a place with such extreme wealth disparity. I have no interest in paying $1000 monthly for a studio to live in a place where everything costs more, there is little diversity, and a laissez faire culture. I don't want Kiddo to grow up like that.
If I'm going to live in a small space, I want it to be mine. I want it beautiful. I want that space to point to a new way of interacting with the world.
In short, I want a tiny house.
The only thing keeping us from starting our build is a place to build it. Once we have that spot, we can start assembling materials and determining a location for it to park.
But I need your help. We need your help.
Where should we build our home? Will you let us build it on your property? Do you know someone who would let us build it on their commercial or residential property?
