“There’s nothing trashy about Gregory Kloehn’s Brooklyn pied-a-terre: a live-in dumpster that sleeps two with ease, hosts impromptu barbecue parties and sports its own sundeck. In a nation where the average home is 2,600 square feet (241 square meters), tiny houses are fetching more attention, not least from aging baby boomers looking to downsize in their retirement years. ‘There are more builders. There are more people seeking to live in tiny houses,’ Mitchell told AFP by telephone. There would be even more tiny homes, he said, if if local zoning regulations and housing codes were not so restrictive.”
