Alternative Living - "ITS NOT A HOUSING CRISIS, ITS A HOMING CRISIS...

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Lazarus Realty

EVERYONE WANTS MORE HOME."

This is a quote from Builder/Author Shay Salomon in this YouTube Video. Watch it! I think you'll like it.  

 

I am at the age and stage where I am pondering down-sizing and have been fascinated by all the possibilities available in Alternative Living.

Over the years our families have grown SMALLER whilst our homes have been built BIGGER.  I believe we are more comfortable, albeit less connected.

 

Was living in a tepee with a warm fire in the center around which the family gathered for meals and fellowship less civilized than living in a McMansion where everyone has their own separate space, complete with television and computer?  When you think tepee living - think, NO TAXES.

Are urbanized Americans you know happier than these desert nomads: 6 children 7 adults living in a tent with no electricity or water?

 

 

Just some food for thought.  I think we in America HAVE to look at our spiritual and material values and do some serious remodeling.

I just had 30 people over for Easter Sunday and my 3000 sq ft home seemed overfilled. But I remember fondly the 30+ people who gathered at my Grandmother's 900 square foot home for holiday dinners and we just didn't notice that it was a small space - we were just happy to be together.

Wanda - one of my most pleasant memories is a meal I shared with a family in a very small adobe home in the mountains near Guatemala Mexico.  Earthen oven, candlelit room, so VERY WARM.
