Hmm, seems like the logical conclusion of the regular toast to “artisan” toast, mobile home park to “tiny house community” other such trends of fetishizing old (and often poor) ways
Who knew a person living in a mobile home w/ untreated water eating toast was ahead of the curve?Trey Lathe added,

Man, this is a public health nightmare just waiting to happen. There are people in extreme poverty who’d give anything for American access to clean water on demand, and we have… these people. 😐 https://nyti.ms/2EeITEa

I’ve spent time in both. The similarities pretty much end at small & mobile. Tiny house communities are great, mobile home parks are crap.
