Norm,
If you're in Toronto October 6-9 check out the mini home at the International Home and Garden Show. MiniHomage [1] Here’s the history: http://sustain.ca/ [2] This is an affordable way for young professionals to stick it to the city. Buy the cheap lot and live there with the elements and no utility bills. When you’ve had enough of the BS polotics, just roll, dude. They’re lovely in the pics. I can imagine a few of them sitting lightly along the bluffs looking so moderne.
