I've had my eye on this corner since I moved to Kenton. I love the uber-tiny house on the left and all that space just ready for a fabulous yard. But the large tree that was on the lot has been removed. And I'm worried that that large yard space will soon be gobbled up by a large house much like the green guy next door. Who once upon was a much smaller house with a larger yard.
Oh infill, will there be any tiny houses with big yards left by the time I'm ready to move?
I just don't get the obsession with big houses. I don't think I'd want anything so tiny as the house in this picture, but I certainly wouldn't want these 3- and 4-thousand square foot houses I see people buying on House Hunters. All I think when I see them is, "Damn, that seems like a lot of cleaning and I bet their utility bills are through the roof."
