Due to high rent and mortgages, people are finding alternative ways to live. Some are hitting the road in caravans, others are renovating their sheds to rent out to travelers, and some are even taking matters into their own hands and building their own tiny houses parked in friends’ backyards.
Some of these solutions may seem extreme, but when life gives you lemons, you got to make lemonade. Because what’s the alternative? Eating a lemon?
Homelessness, unfortunately, is the situation for many — especially in New York, where rent and real estate prices are astronomical, space is valuable, and sometimes, due to one or two bad breaks, some find themselves without a home. In fact, in December of 2014, homelessness in New York City hit an all time high of 59,068 people. The situation is heartbreaking.
So, it doesn’t come as a surprise that some people, inspired by the same gusto alive within the Tiny House Movement, have taken matters into their own hands and have found alternative places to live… like underground.
