  1. Call me crazy but here I am thinking these tiny homes look really cosy!
    The John Malcovich reference was a bit too claustrophobic for me probably because you can't stand up properly, and for a family of course living in a tiny house like that would be hell but as a singleton I wouldn't mind living in a house that size. I really home they make affordable homes like this in London someday.
  2. I am so scared that this is going to happen in my country. Too many people, too little place (it is already happening in some part of it. I'm afraid in the future it will be all of it).
