I went to school for city planning and am very interested in this idea. The concept was only referenced in my (neoliberal) education in a historical sense, despite the fact that tiny houses and "off-grid" was getting really popular at the time.

Doing things under current US zoning and general health/safety standards is EXTREMELY expensive. Ignoring the regulations makes things a lot more manageable but requires a lot of knowledge and responsibility to not hurt anyone or the environment. It can be done. It should be done. It must be done. The powers that be are very against it and do not want anyone to set an example showing people what is possible if you drop their bureaucratic, tax-dollar-stealing, big-developer-favoring system of planning and regulation.

It can be done. It must be done. It will be done.
