More ppl should consider San Diego:
• Most underrated city in the world
• Ton of smart talent (w/ ucsd, usd, sdsu)
• Access to Mexico-TJ borders
• 8th most largest city in US
• Solid food, music, art scene
• Great beaches everywhere
What else am I missing?
“Hi Kevin, I wanted to check in to see if you were interested in selling your property”
Do this 50 times a day, work under a superstar broker, sound normal, and be prepared to provide great market info.
You’re a millionaire in a few years.
They should just move into an Outhouse.
I can see the realtor spin now…
“Quaint 4 walled abode, park-like setting, with ample subterranean storage”
When I took the train from Berlin to Prague I saw many homes like this. Most had a plot of land and an area to grow food and keep animals. Different way of life.
Here’s my realtor spin:
“Perfect minimalist home for those looking for the simplest of lifestyles. No mortgage/low property taxes. Perfect for families who want to become closer.”
OK, JtR, your turn…
Cozy, low maintenance home perfect for those looking to explore additional family values!
It is easy to be snide. In this time of high unemployment, they have a home and small business mortgage free. Their living expenses are probably less than $1,500 per month, maybe less $1,000.
There are some interesting and clever conemporary small home designs well under 1,000 square feet. I would be interested, but my wife would divorce me.
Looks spacious by Hong Kong standards.
Almost like living on a boat. There’s no space for extraneous stuff, so they only keep what they use. Since it isn’t easy to withdraw from the rest of the inhabitants, they are more social with one another and thus better socialized than many.
The video could easily be edited down to a few minutes, though.
Excellent video and an even better philosophy – focus on what you do have.
The key is to make sure everything has at least two uses. Having done some extended traveling in Europe, you really see you do not need 3000+ sq. ft. to live a full and happy life. Small living is liberating.
Personally, I thought the video was well worth the 10 minutes, to see the whole picture of “small living”.
I thought it was funny that the ” minimalist” mom was so proud she had “china”. Come on lady. The whole point is to cut the materialistic lifestyle away and stop buying from china!!!!
I would point out that a lot of folks who live in RV’s live in less space. And there are a large number of full time RVers in the US, of course they don’t buy much real estate, using a mailing service in Texas (for no income tax) as an address, or perhaps a RV park that is willing to do mail forwarding instead.
