Tiny homes gain in popularity: VIDEO

Financially, socially and environmentally, this trend makes sense, Samtani said, as young people have fewer resources to spend on homes.

“This is definitely a national trend,” Samtani said, “and it’s not just a trend for now — it’s here to stay.” [Fox Business] — Claire Moses
