    Bigger buildings have a bigger impact on the environment, tiny homes are a good thing

      Only if you let it, most vans are diesel and that’s bad for the environment.

      Our big house has solar panels and we make more electricity then we can use, so help the grid be greener.

      We also don’t follow the norm of buy everything that we don’t need

      Multiunit housing is actually a lot more efficient, cheaper to build and reduces sprawl. Building multi family housing with passive heating and cooling is actually comparable to traditional multi family housing costs.

      In a better world that would be how we solve the housing crisis. Move more people together (better for mass transit, utilities, and services).

      Then you can keep a smaller (greener) camper van for weekending or holidays to escape.
