This is the era of the snowflake.
We live in an age of hypersensitivity, manufactured outrage and trivialized moral panic. We think we're just a few executive orders away from The Handmaid's Tale. We react to honest disagreement as a personal attack. We concoct identities for ourselves from a sort of personal mythology, and think of them as our personal property.
Ultimately, there is nothing new under the sun and every idea and cultural artifact can be traced back to somewhere else. The best response to foolish concepts like "cultural appropriation" is to treat them as the pathetic consequence of an unexamined life.
oh dear, that is annoying. I rent a small space because it is better for me to not spend all my time cleaning, I use fewer resources so it is better for the planet, and I really can't afford much more. I hate the idea that I look like I could afford more, race, education level, etc. I really can't if I want to stay out of the American debt trap. I hate that people think I am just waiting for something bigger/better.
And yes, I would live in a traditional trailer park if I could get a garden area and a little bit of space.
Maybe that is just my assumption that other people have an assumption of me. And in my family I am definitely at the bottom of the income and housing range by far. In my circle of friends and colleagues I am pretty average to doing well, in my extended family not so much.
no tiny houses may be a lot of things including unrealistic as a shelter solution (they aren't even legal for zoning many places) but that's about all ... well and beyond a certain point also claustrophobic to me but ymmv.
Also overhyped, a studio apartment might not be much bigger and quite possibly every bit as energy efficient (shared walls would tend to make it more so in some ways) but it's not considered trendy for whatever reason (maybe because it's nothing new under the sun).
of course if the neighbors were ok, but you are getting into some unknowns there, but of course.And yes, I would live in a traditional trailer park if I could get a garden area and a little bit of space.
