Tiny houses have gained popularity through shows like “Tiny House Nation” and “Tiny House, Living Big”. YouTube is My favorite place to see tiny house experiences. I have seen hundreds of videos from Tiny House Giant Journey, Tiny House Expedition, and Living Big In A Tiny House. I was in love with tiny houses. I loved the sustainable lifestyle that came with tiny houses.

However, my dream of owning a tiny house burst when I first called a tiny house builder. I learned that living full-time in a tiny house is actually illegal.
I was astonished. None of the people I watched on YouTube mentioned the legal constraints of living tiny. I thought people found an alternative way of living.
