<prompt> Human: I have lived in the city all of my life. Ive been curious lately about the tiny homes seen on TV. I would need a tiny home large enough for my husband and I and our dog. Our dream is to be near the beach somewhere but we would of course consider other locations. Does anyone live in, or know someone who has lived in, a tiny home and has advice about that lifestyle? Its more of a curiosity rather than a set plan. However, I think it would be worth selling our current home, or renting it, and using the money to purchasepay off a tiny home. It would be freeing not to have a mortgage especially in light of my massive graduate school loan debt. Of course, we would need to secure employment wherever we relocate. Any advice much appreciated.  <response>: Most municipalities have archaic building codes that make tiny house impossible. Sometimes you can get around this by building it on wheels so it isnt classified as a structure.
