“I believe in the American dream of home ownership, and am discouraged to see that it’s become inaccessible to so many.
Tiny homes provide a solution for those looking to live life-rich rather than house-rich while leaving a smaller carbon footprint on the Earth.”
I’m Joe, an electrician by trade, the owner of a tiny house (her name is Meraki, which is Greek for “to put a little of yourself in what you do.”), and the founder of Life Size: Tiny Communities. Like so many people, I believe in the American dream of home ownership, and am sad to see that it’s become inaccessible to so many. Tiny homes provide a solution for those looking to live life-rich rather than house-rich while leaving a smaller carbon footprint on the Earth. But with zoning and regulations being what they are, tiny home enthusiasts keep encountering one persistent problem: “where do we put them?” I created LSTC as a means and method to solve that issue.
I believe in the differences between managers and LEADERS. I also believe that if you can take care of the people, everything else will take care of itself. While some days are easier than others, I strive to be a shining example of positivity, leadership, creative abundance and love. We must be good stewards of ourselves, our fellow humans, and our planet.
Together, we can forge a movement 10 years in the making into the industry it deserves to be!

“The housing spectrum has evolved over the last several years, resulting in a large portion of the population struggling to find quality, attainable housing options.
Our mission is to help solve this problem by providing first-class communities for tiny home owners.”

Life Size Tiny Communities Government Affairs
While governmental zoning rules and regulations are meant to protect people and property, they sometimes lag behind the times and end up hindering progress and good ideas. That has proven to be the case with the tiny home revolution; people are finding that they’re not able to put their tiny home anywhere once they’ve purchased it.
How Can We Create A Lower Cost Of Entry And More Attainable Housing Option For Citizens?
The high price of entrance into the housing market has prevented many from realizing the American Dream of home ownership. Even with a good job, many Americans might not have enough capital to finance a home in the traditional sense, but they make too much to qualify for any kind of subsidized housing. Tiny homes provide an option for that “middle market” of housing that is attainable for entry level into the housing market, allowing individuals and families to begin to build equity in their American Dream.
While we’re keeping a close eye on developments regarding the regulation of tiny homes across the country, we’re particularly interested in what’s happening here in the Central Colorado area, the home region of our pilot community. Many localities are “tiny home friendly” and eager to welcome communities into their neighborhoods. It takes a visionary like Joe Callantine, founder of Life Size: Tiny Communities and his talented team of professionals to make this dream a reality.

Are You A Tiny House Enthusiast?
Every day, 10,000 people in America hit retirement age. The retiree population is one of the larger groups who are interested in tiny houses as an option for themselves – as their children move away from home, many seniors are interested in downsizing as they enter their golden years. On the other end of the spectrum, there are those seeking first-time home ownership or more sustainable housing, and tiny houses can be a viable and attainable option for them, as well.
It’s a well known issue: cities across the nation are looking for solutions to the “missing middle” – the segment of the housing market that includes starter homes, duplexes/triplexes, and other options that provide attainable housing.

I am waiting in El Dorado County CA for an Administrative Hearing to allow me to live in my son’s backyard in my Tiny House. He bought his house (.33 acres) in August 2020. I bought my tiny in November 2020. We had the paperwork & permit form ready to turn in for a hardship case. When we went to turn the paperwork in we found out that on December 2nd the board of Supervisors had changed the lot size to 1 acre or greater. Does anyone have any information or advice I could use at my hearing?
