Living tiny in Portland for $300/month 

Pretty cool i would love to be a part of a tiny community with my family thats such. A great idea

No point in making these tiny houses illegal because most of the workers can’t afford Portland’s ever increasing housing costs!

I love the idea but I am a loner/introvert and would like to keep to myself. I'm not really into the commune thing.

Good story with meaningful connections to their community and each other. I say more tiny homes, more tiny homes! Also, I say more tiny villages.

This is called living a life of love and caring long been missing from our lives,i remember in my younger days we had a community where i lived of neighbour's that all knew and helped each other and celebrated socially together,today that has all gone but i see it here again in this wonderful place,these ppl have achieved what goverment took away...Good Luck and a happy Life to every one of them....

I'd love to see more about how they work out cohabitating.

Far better than HK's caged home and partitioned flats which sometimes are just around 100 square feet size.

The tiny house movement is a good thing but I prefer my own house on my own lot I get together with friends when I want to and the rest of the time I like my privacy I'm not sure this would work out for me but glad it is for others. I like my solitude more than I want to be with friends

Watching this, I'm trying to visualize how people lived long ago as communities and how happy they were.

I want to live there...It looks great. Thank you for sharing.

How do i get into a tiny house without engaging with people?

This is what’s happening when greedy landlords spike up the rent!

Omg I love this! We have one here in Las Vegas, but it’s only for employees that work for a company. I can’t wait to live one eventually.

Oregon needs to become more friendly with building codes/permits and building budget homes. I'm planning on building in a remote area of Oregon, but the county wants $10,000 in permits alone

This is just what I'm looking for myself & my puppy.

This is actual GOALS

This is amazing! 😍😍😍

Bless you all

omg i want to live there

Beautiful community

My mom has a 2.2 acre front yard...wow,, sounds real good

This is so cool!

Lookin’ to start a commune for young ambitious people in Oregon. The land and the house is already in place, just need people to join us so we can start working the land, farm, etc. let me know if you’re interested

Nice..I would love living like that.

What an awesome way to live! How ideal.

For some reason I think they are more appealing then trailers.

This is a great idea

These are so amazing...,there should be absolutely no reason why people shouldn't be allowed to do this. Who is the city 🙄 it's about us the people.

This is how extended family/chosen family could work so well. They're practically a family in the way that they live, anyway - separate but together.

This has been my dream now for years. Portlands homeless population could easily be helped by allowing these little communities to become completely legal. Eugene was doing something similar a few years back. I love how this helps with not feeling isolated and also gives you your life back by not having to pay such incredibly high rental rates. Love love love 💕

Way cool I love it .

Lovely community !!! 🙏🏡💋

Everyone has right to occupy free land and vacancy land. Adverse possession is permanent squatters right

I love you guys.

That's my people. Hope for better future.

💜💜💜yesh😉👍 I can feel the love.

You know why they don’t want it, it’s all about money, money they want, they don’t care if people are struggling and can’t afford that ridiculous amount of rent or housing, they don’t care that your income don’t go up when they charge huge amounts for rent and housing, they don’t care if you on the streets, it’s all about them and what they can get out of it.

An IDEAL LIFESTYLE

Denmark has communal living similar to this, the people share but have their own room😍

This is not illegal in my mind and anyone who thinks it is ... then they're illegal IMO, in fact more land should be allotted for free to allow more of this, as long as they treat it with care and don't pollute etc.

I need one

Where do I sign up for the next spot?

I think we can provide them heating system, a private bathroom and showers.

Were can me and my husband sign up. We have one daughter.

I want to put a living structure in my backyard, but I can't get passed how to connect electricity and running water to it. Can I just run it off my main house? How would I do that? Any help would be much appreciated.

Wonderful

I live in a 21 ft RV but when I get my disability I really want to buy a tiny house. Now to figure out where I want to live. Thinking of the Portland area.. 🤔

It is a grey are, what it sounds pretty straight forward. Portland does not want a bunch of trailer lots.

I could live that way

Good to see this staff,actually you are adopting Philippines culture where every one knows everybody in the neighbors or town,that things is the reason why Filipinos are resiliant and happy even in the midst of uncertainty

Pretty sure there Considered rvs since there welcomed in rv parks

Yup that’s Portland alright.

I'm new here like this just pressed all them buttons I'm from UK

Personally, I love ❤️ tiny houses. A lot of people can't afford bigger homes and mortgages, so the bankers can laugh at us and to and from the bank at us suckered. Besides, smaller homes are cozy, and less work.

Is there room for more?

I'm looking at starting a similar tiny home village, I know every village and group of people will be different but I'd love to see your group agreements and guidelines if possible.

This is sort of like a commune. We still have a lot of these back in the 60s and they were good then I don’t know why they wouldn’t be good now when you really think about it a lot of people get off the street but you have to have it environment where people would allow other people to live in or around you if you’re in that type of a situation where you have other people living there it’s a good thing because it all works together like this arrangement that was shown in the Video. Why can’t we just all get along and make it work?

A great idea! I'm sure there are some problems living in a small community like that though. Save money vs. fighting with neighbors so close by.

So not only are you getting decent affordable housing, but you are also living with your friends.

so im not able to buy a piece of land and have a tiny house on it in portland ? will be moving there in the beginning of 2019 from europe. i have the u.s passport and dont want to be mortage bound my whole life.... already worked years in places i dislike and want a way out by keeping my expenses low such as living costs but the legal system seems to try and prevent that. what am i missing and what is any of your guys experiences with going small and affordable ? thanks in advance for the replys.

I'm on SSI and am a professional musician. Vegas sucks and there's no housing. Portland seems a lot hipper and weird like me. I'm looking to make the move!!!

I am shocked.

What's with those camera angles. They make those tiny homes look humongous.

That guy's a pill popper

I wonder how many people get found out right after they make RU-vid videos that show their identity and location

I would not want everyone else in my face. Too much drama.

Without rental land, just only adverse possession.

I need help!

wowww

Will the $300 rent go to $0 when the house mortgage is paid off? If not, then despite his Portlandia speak he is a landlord.

Still no real sense of security unless you own the land. When the landowner sells, dies, or wants you gone, your left searching for another place to park.

Not really how about maintenance $

WOW THAT S AWESOME MAYBE I SHOULD MOVE TO PORTLAND

I like it ! But, not for me .

These aren't tiny houses... These are tiny homes.

not for me. i love my space.

Dear all billionaires in the world, Pleaee pay attention and help all the homeless citizen a bit , so that they can live , struggle against strong wind ,storm , winter season. Thank you in advance. Regards, Suk Feng

tiny homes are NOT illegal lol

Modern day commune.

If only all homeless people were like this

OK KAREN

Adverse possession for free land on every American people have right to permanent occupy

The problem with Tiny Homes is that as soon as it gets to be popular it gets to be pricey! Which tends to defeat the purpose... "Market Value" is what 'they' want --but what exactly does that mean? What is Market Value if not an artificially inflated price projection? It's fiction! They always base their prices on how much they can extract from us: not on how much value we get in the deal. Simply put, the phrase "Market Value" places more emphasis on "Market" than "Value"...That's predatory capitalism and economic warfare against the poor and the homeless... Another housing bubble in the making and instead of making housing affordable it's making people homeless! They're being priced out altogether over time... Tiny homes is rapidly becoming a part of that bubble because if money is the core motivation behind its legalization and development it will fail. Why do we have to emulate the greed that's destroying every good and wholesome thing?! Tiny is only good if it's truly affordable and I would suggest that tiny home communities lobby for rent control on tiny homes: so that what happened in 2008 when the housing bubble burst resulting in mass homelessness all over the nation doesn't happen again with tiny homes.

Have you heard the information on your father Christian

How about a KFC bucket for communal dinners?

You called it a tiny village I call it a hippie commune in the middle of a neighborhood

Adverse possession for free land & vacancy land through land data registration from Bureau land management of United states can avoid rental of homeowner and landlord.

You guys are AWESOME! Human beings will enjoy this......fascist REPUBLICANS will hate it!

"I love the concept, but he gives me Fuedal Lord Vibes!" I would love to see this concept as an alternative to mass homelessness, but with more of an emphasis on individual privacy. You know what eventually starts to happen in communes when someone doesn't agree to new rules imposed...eg; sexual advances ? Great idea, but The Big House (Slavery Term) I don't agree..

Let me see if I understand this... There's a large number of people who live in Portland who are interested in tiny-house living, but their local laws make this illegal. Sounds like your representatives don't represent your community. Sounds to me like Portland would be better served by a small government, live and let live mindset, you know, like a conservative government.... I guarantee most tiny house dwellers will still vote for tyranny over and over again.

HIPPIES PLAIN AND SIMPLE AND YES HE;S A LANDLORD W T F

Novel idea, but what happens when you are a loner🙄

Just all a bit to knit ya own yogurt for me .

Why are people so lazy?
