Thank you. I'd come across the <100 sq foot tumbleweed house a month or so ago, and it was likely one of the things that helped me realize how little space was really needed. If/when I do settle into a free-standing house of my own, it'll likely either be very small and cheap, or something small that I build myself (my father and his father both built their own houses, and I'm not sure how far that tradition goes back) with little to no mortgage. For now, I'm quite happy having a place to keep a change of clothes, clean up a bit, and sleep, which could be as simple as a backpack, public restroom/locker room, and bench, seat, or hammock. Rather than being homeless, the whole town has become my home.
