650ft² is doable for a single person on the short term.

for sure, its why i laugh at the tiny house people tho, they are paying huge dollars for a tiny space which only works if you have very little stuffMajor Kong wrote:650ft² is doable for a single person on the short term.
That's not true, but OK.cwtcr hokie wrote:you do realize kali is losing population due to its tax structure, the earthquakes and the cost of livingip_law-hokie wrote:It's not worth it to you.Hokie CPA wrote:I get what you're trying to say about needs vs wants, but if my needs can be met in 650 sq. ft., I don't expect to pay $3.50 per square foot to get it. That's just crazy.

I would bet that there are rooms in your house that you haven't used for months.
It's a lifestyle choice.

Basically, $150k per year in Silicon Valley is roughly equivalent to $75k per year in Hampton Roads. And Silicon Valley isn't like Manhattan, where you can find anything you could possibly want by walking a few blocks, even if it's to a Subway station. Silicon Valley is a frickin' suburb, where you pretty much need a car to get to the clubs and nice restaurants that make that kind of rent worth the price. In other words, it ain't worth it.
Unless you don't believe in market forces, it's worth it to a lot of people.

Around here Storage businesses are booming so you can always get more stuff.cwtcr hokie wrote:for sure, its why i laugh at the tiny house people tho, they are paying huge dollars for a tiny space which only works if you have very little stuff
I guess one could go the route of Ben Affleck in The Accountant and park a Streamline in a storage unit.Major Kong wrote:Around here Storage businesses are booming so you can always get more stuff.cwtcr hokie wrote:for sure, its why i laugh at the tiny house people tho, they are paying huge dollars for a tiny space which only works if you have very little stuff
They're half the square footage at the same cost of a trailer. Only benefit is it is more mobile.cwtcr hokie wrote:for sure, its why i laugh at the tiny house people tho, they are paying huge dollars for a tiny space which only works if you have very little stuffMajor Kong wrote:650ft² is doable for a single person on the short term.
Been there, done that and it wasn't bad at all.Hokie CPA wrote:I guess one could go the route of Ben Affleck in The Accountant and park a Streamline in a storage unit.
If things get really tight, live in the camper. LOL
We're looking at trailer RVs now, I could see someone living in one for a while. There's a house hunter type show about people buying RVs and "fulltiming" in it. There are some nice ones. The only time I think I'd go crazy is when it's really cold outside for an extended period, or raining for an extended period.Major Kong wrote:Been there, done that and it wasn't bad at all.Hokie CPA wrote:I guess one could go the route of Ben Affleck in The Accountant and park a Streamline in a storage unit.

Didn't park in a storage unit though.

We have a 26 footer. Dad got the fall before he passed away and never had a chanced to use it...we've put it to good use though.HokieFanDC wrote:We're looking at trailer RVs now, I could see someone living in one for a while.

We had a 22' Airstream and I put it to good use down in TN after graduation for 4 months.

my neighbor who bought the 100 acres beside my land is doing that now, he put his house up for sale and it sold in 3 days, he did not expect it to sell near that fast so they are living in a fifth wheel RV while the new house is being builtHokieFanDC wrote:We're looking at trailer RVs now, I could see someone living in one for a while.
