Neat video of furniture for living small. Not for living in 89’ ft but very cool concepts pieces

That's the future right there.

The days of a family of three living in a 3500-4000 square foot home are rapidly coming to an end, if not all but over already. Fifty years from now most of these "McMansions" will have been torn down, replaced by much smaller homes built in subdivisions re-designed to accommodate pedestrian travel. The current model of ostentatious houses paid for by giveaway loans and powered, heated and cooled by dirt-cheap fuel will be nothing more than symbols of a bygone era and I don't see this model returning in my lifetime.

There are neighborhoods with hundred year old houses, that were the McMansions of thier day, and now are cut up into 8-12 apartments. There were at least 6 McManshion boom/bust cycles,going back to the 1880’s.

When it will happen, I don’t know, maybe not for a hundred years, we will see the fiat, government paper money systems be busted out.

There is no institution, world wide, that robs and steals by various methods like taxation and inflation as much as government. It/they know that. Some of us know that. When like a huge, multi-billion flock of marsh starlings the average world peon realizes that, they/us/we will turn on a dime. The upset will make the Russian Revolution look like kid’s play.
