And now it's immoral too, I guess. A family chooses to lives in a $30,000 house which looks cozy and well-maintained and quite respectable -- but we see moral outrage and cries of child abuse.
Crazy.
It’s called collectivism, the family does what it can, the community judges them. The right of the individual is lost. The child has a home. In many 3rd world countries, they are lucky to have a box.
4 yrs ago I had to restart my business, due to an irs shut down, which was latter determined illegal. Lost everything, lived in a tent with 5 kids, my wife and 2 dogs. Would not take any gov help. Had to deal with extended family that screamed child abuse, and they would call the state to get the children to safety.
In the land of the free (sarc). I as a man, who had my business shut down, and means of production destroyed. Have to apologize and fear the state stealing my children as I restart my business, and act like a man. While I teach my kids that life can suck, but you trust in GOD and never quit.
The poster asked if making a child live in this house was child abuse.... WTF
A family can choose it, and that’s fine, but our government is promoting it, which is also fine in a way...but saying this is any kind of living is just bullshit when it’s being actively promoted by our government.
I live a 3000 sq ft home and it’s fine but not large...but I pay for it so who is to say it’s too large?
That’s what this crap is all about, imo.
These people are not poor. They can afford to let their child have some privacy, but they choose not to.
Good post, ClearCase_guy.
Not crazy. What we are looking at here is a TRAILER with all of the downsides of a trailer: Thin, poorly insulated walls & floor, cheap furnishings, temporary utilities hookups that fail in cold weather, must be evacuated in extreme weather, they don’t last very long, & they have a poor resale value. The more you haul the thing around, the more rickety it gets.
With a small refrigerator & very limited storage space, you must grocery shop nearly every day. Forget having any “gear” or toys - There’s no place to store them. And forget having any kind of wardrobe. Where will Tammy put all her shoes? Up north, where will you put all those heavy coats & boots? People living in these things will end up with several storage buildings IF the trailer park allows it.
What about your neighbors? Are they the responsible, eco-friendly people you are, or is their stuff strewn from one end of their tiny lot to the other? Can you hear their fights through their thin walls just feet from yours?
Tiny lots? Tiny houses deserve tiny lots. They kinda go together. You don’t expect the purveyors of tiny houses want you to put it on a half acre or more, do you? The land you don’t “waste” could be “better” used as a nature preserve that no one can visit, don’t ya know.
But hey! If you don’t like your trailer park you can always move to another. Good luck with that.
For less than $30,000 you can purchase a large travel trailer with multiple slideouts, much more storage inside & out, & is far more roadworthy than a shed on a flat bed trailer, built by companies that have decades of expertise in their craft.
Here is an example I found on the internet. I have no relation to the dealer & I don’t sell RVs.
