1- Benefitting those who choose to, or would like to, live in tiny/small homes or RVs, saving from conventional housing costs. The current obstacle is finding places to park/build small homes. In buying land, present red-tape laws hinder small home construction, requiring a minimum square footage and a garage.
President Trump proposed government land helping to solve the national housing crisis. Designating some of this land for tiny/small homes would help reduce costs of living for several demographics: students, retired, and even full-time workers saving for a conventional home. To prevent becoming the sterotypical, present-day “trailer park,” residential incentives could be given to current/retired military, police, and firefighters; these could help supervise their community.
2- Benefitting farmers. With less housing red-tape, tiny/small homes could help struggling family farms earn additional income.
A subsidized career program could train future farmers, where current farmers set aside an area of unfarmed land for students to live while interning. Farmers would receive a subsidy for housing students in the program. Students could bring their self-contained RVs, or use small cabins already on the farmer’s land. A new generation of future farmers, even from urban areas, could learn hands-on how to run a farm.
Without the red-tape, family farms could also run something similar to an Airbnb. Well-vetted vacationers could rent an RV space or small cabins on the farm, while learning about farming through a few hours of volunteering. Already, there are vineyards offering similar vacation-volunteer packages.
