LIFE IN A PIPE

http://tinyhouseblog.com/tiny-house-concept/pipe-house-inspiration/

As life in Obamaland costs more and more, we will be forced by Agenda 21 to go smaller and smaller until we are living in cardboard shacks begging for heat, light and food. Homelessness and being penniless will be the norm, as he destroys capitalism and our rights to be motivated to better living. He will have destroyed us and the country that can never come back.

So maybe now it is time to find some unrestricted land, free of regulations while you can and start building a file of living spaces and researching ways you can hide away, even if it means underground.

CNN article on recycling containerized freight boxes into homes

http://www.cnn.com/2009/TECH/06/12/recycled.homes/index.html

and it seems to me that this is an excellent idea for earthquake prone areas, like Haiti and the Pacific Rim - wherever the earth is unstable.

Maybe in your home state or country, you should look into zoning laws if they are relevant and suggest these be allowed. You can't fall far if you live in a box.

Worried about living somewhere?

Energy and cost-efficient housing could be yours in alternatives...like hay bale houses. Here's a video from CNN, but I'll put more into this particular entry. I've been interested in tire houses, haybale houses and adobe for years. Now it may make more sense than ever!
