### A New Model for Living? Exploring Debt-Free, Off-Grid Freedom
I came across a concept that has me thinking deeply about what's possible: a proposed tiny, self-sufficient home designed to operate completely off-grid, powered by solar and aiming for a radical reduction in living costs and environmental footprint. While the specifics (like the brand or the price tag) are debated, the *underlying vision* is what feels important for our community to discuss. It pushes us to ask: What if we fundamentally rethought our relationship with home, land, and consumption? Let's explore the principles, not just the product: 1. Radical Self-Sufficiency: The idea of a home that generates its own power and manages its own water is a powerful step toward resilience. How can we integrate more of these self-sufficient principles into our own lives, whatever our living situation? 2. Freedom vs. Community: This model offers incredible mobility and freedom from debt. But does a truly mobile life challenge our ability to put down deep community roots and tend a garden for the long term? Can we have both? 3. Our Relationship with "Enough": Living in 375 square feet is a profound practice in minimalism and living with less. What defines "enough" space and possessions for you to live a fulfilled and nature-connected life? This isn't really about one company's idea. It's a catalyst for a bigger conversation about crafting a life that is both ecologically responsible and personally freeing. What are your thoughts? Could you see yourself in a life designed around these principles? What would you embrace, and what would you find most challenging?

I live in Northern New Mexico. NM is #2 for the amount of modular homes to capita ratio. I see it as both good and bad, as i see most things. We have "permanent" modular homes now that if they were removed no one could rebuild because of easements and another issue is selling. Because there is no foundation one could never finance the purchase. It is currently affecting our working class (ages 30-45) that have minimal resources. I see a lot of wealthy people buying up the properties for their "summer" home then sit on it because they realize how much bureaucratic tape is around these homes. It is definitely a visceral issue in NM and I just want to say that we can dig deeper to make sure we arent making a situation worse by not taking into consideration the regulations currently in place that may make it difficult for a low income family to sell/buy etc. All respectful considerations not a full and final thought process 🧡
