Backyard Tiny House Village: Twist on Intentional Community
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 май 2024
- Welcome to Going Places, an inventive tiny home community in Portland, Oregon. It's a fresh take on an intentional community as a small scale cohousing setup with 2 tiny houses in the backyard and a shared small traditional house. It's a way to make urban living affordable while creating meaningful neighborly connections.
Going Places showcases how truly accessible and rewarding community development can be.
A cohousing community is semi-communal housing consisting of a cluster of private homes and a shared community space. Residents share resources like tools and in tasks, such as household repairs. Property, utility, and maintenance costs are also shared.
"I found that when people move to a cohousing community their relationships with their family and friends often improve because the physical and social structures of the community facilitate a healthier lifestyle." -Lina Menard, Niche Consulting and original Going Places co-founder

I love this kind of community and what I love about that the most is what that one guy say that this community is a little bit of a low commitment and has it's balance.. Because that could be really helpful to be in community with commitment but not too strict or too stiff/stick to the schedules or regulations.
What country are you in?
For me, the ideas in ruclips.net/user/postUgkxAfqpMLyFn37qcqUl0FAzqkkycQeXqrhP Plans were a starting point for building different sheds . Ryan gives ideas that allow an individual to draw nicest conclusions into the design and building of his or her own shed.
The lucky penny inspired my caboose tiny house I made. I see Lina’s built a new one! Love it!
A little community like this breaks the solitude from COVID isolation. Too many people suffer from loneliness.
People have suffered from loneliness for millennia.
Oooh that kitty with the big ears and tiny face ❤️❤️❤️! Soooooo adorable!
Such a sweet, civilized group of people. Very refreshing... Thank you for sharing!
The community that has been cultivated is admirable.
Once in a land far, far away,we called this communal living.
or Communism... these people would looove to see everyone living in these cramped little trailers, sharing bathrooms, broke as fuck.
@@nunziobusiness1509 😂😂😂
Exactly LOL. 60s & 70s.
Like being neighbourly.
I love the cohousing/communal element of this.
Man if our government could work this effectively? We’d be good lol
stop voting in people who work against your best interests
"...there's very little the government can do as efficiently and as economically as the people can do themselves..."
We need to get things done ourselves. No government will solve our problems
Yes, Pete. I'm in agreement with you, sir.
that's great if they weren't so money and power hungry.
Loved tiny houses... with a mini rocking chair.. lots of coffee and a Lovely bath tub..i can live in one forever😄💜
They are a big Happy Family.
This is beautiful! Thank you! 🙏
So inspiring! I remember seing the Lucky Penny 5 years ago.
Such an amazing little community ❤
I enjoyed this thoroughly... I attended a workshop at an Earth Day festival in Dallas several yrs ago and Lina was one of the organizers and presenters. It is so validating and encouraging to see she is living the values and participating in the type of community that she spoke about. Gives me hope as I consider something like this hopefully in WA state in a couple years.
THESE TINY HOMES LOOKS SO PEACEFUL ! AND I JUST LOVE HOW EVERYONE WORKS AND SUPPORTS ONE ANOTHER IN THE COMMUNITY..
Love this! You told a great story, not just showed us a couple tiny homes. If I could give this 10 likes, I would!
Thank you very much ☺️
What a amazing community! That is a dream of mine
Fabulous idea!
The wood chips,
really make it all ....
Cool...
It’s very nice to see a community...
where you don’t really know;
who the ...”leader”...
is.... because they’re all ....
just working together...
That cat is so cute.. Made the video so interesting. Great ideas
Beautiful
Beautiful cat 🥰
Brilliant! Very well done and very interesting...
Awesome
Too bad every city doesn't have a tiny home community. I love the concept! I long for a much simpler life!
This a great idea
It reminds me of the co-op houses of the 70s that popped up in college towns., ah, nostalgia...
Communal living is fine for some. My question is what is the financial cost for the homes etc, this info is needed
I really liked the other tiny, with the deck at the bed. I don't know why more designs don't do that. Seems so simple.
We headed up an intentional community for 20+ years. It had it's challenges, but when everything is running smoothly it's a wonderful thing.
So happy to hear it! Kudos ❤️
Brilliant! You're a village and a bit of a family too - but not too much. Without parents :)
Brilliant 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
🦋🤗😅😊
It sure Is.
Indeed.
Love And Light.
Yes, I love this. Do you have room for one more!?? and a chi-weenie?
Not the subject here, but daaaamn, that BMW 2002 up front is cleeaaan, don't you think we didn't notice! ;)
Needed my tiny house fix!
Glad you came here to get it!
This is basically how a suburb with cookouts, dinners, childcare, etc., always used to work as well as very similar to how rural communities of related families work, lol. Folks have become so deracinated, so insular, so alienated, they have forgotten our past as a people. This is very normal.
Deracinated? Umm are you a nazi?
@@larllarfleton
Why do you say such a stupid and mean thing? They used an appropriate English word, that makes total sense in this context. What's your problem?
Deracinated:
/dēˈrasəˌnādid/
adjective
uprooted from one's natural geographical, social, or cultural environment.
@@df2mobile oh geez I'm actually really sorry! I heard that word used once by a really far-right person. The way it was used made me think it meant something to do with race, as he used it in kind of a racist way.
I didn't realize that's what it actually meant. I take that back, I seriously am sorry for saying that :(
Can't wait til retirement can't wait tile retirement can't wait til retirement. I'm gonnna have my own 2-4 acres and put a tiny home on that. So I can do atv riding on the property etc. :D
What a wonderful way to be !!! Having a caring, workable community where everyone feels heard and safe is what I think everyone strives to have. I wish them all the best. Peace ✌🏽
Nice house.. Good video, but love that cat!?
Do they pay someone to come and clean the shared space every few days? I could see that being a problem. I assume they have a shared fund to replace items that break or need work. I could see that if they share main house chores some will do better more thorough jobs than others which could be a source of contention.
This could also be show-cased on a share household channel. I wonder if there _are_ any channels promoting share householding coz that would be cool too.
Communal living should be avail to everyone whom chooses to live this way.
I've lived and traveled to many intentional communities over 6 years and I like their model here.
My main concern is legality. If it's not 100% legal for them to live that way there all it could take is one neighbor complaining and it could all crumble. I like that they're engaging their neighbors, but that's not enough security for me. Sadly the legality of tiny house living has delayed me living in one.
Are Canadienne Geese & Ducks involved in the legality of communal living?.
If not, why don't they have any regulation?.
The Ducks tho~ do operate according to the NAP.
Where’s this at I would love to know that. I would love to live in one of one.
How did you get the community started. Would love to have one in our community. It is so difficult here in California . So, many people say not in our back yard. It is so frustrating. I am born and raised in California and my husband is from the south and he tells me all the time that people in California are not friendly. And he is right.
he's right. People in New York and New Jersey are way friendlier--I've lived/worked in all 3 areas.
Penny house made me think of a Hobbit house. My tiny would look like a very big tree 🌳
Wow how are they getting away with this? Or does Portland allow this? My neighbors would report me to the city at the first hint of any construction. It is a really great use of space to make it affordable for everyone.
So since this on your property how are your taxes handled? Since the tiny homes are not on a slab, are they considered like sheds?
No doubt. I think that everyone should have to hold public office and do it for free so that way the job would be done right instead of the officials using our country as their own private piggy bank
In the beginning, it was exactly that way. Then people realized they could vote themselves money.
This is a great concept, would love to see it happen around the country....It would be great in my small town in Nebraska....A 21st century version of the '70s era commune's...(I know of an ideal property about 3 miles north of the city that would be perfect for such a setup, buzz me and will send you the Google Maps photo with location data, btw this property has been on the market a very long time..)
OMG JKMN!
'Take a drink every time they say 'community'.'
Beautiful story, great video production! I'm in Portland, too, and have known of [and met a time or two] Lina Menard. I know she was previously in another tiny house community in the Cully Neighborhood. So nice to see this new place that she and her partner and friends have created! It's really great, and so inspiring to those of us who would like to do something similar. Also great is that the City Commissioners finally made allowances for this type of creative housing arrangement, by relaxing the zoning [and even more relaxing in the past year or so, as the housing crisis has deepened and more people are needing to live in trailers on residential, inner city lots]. If only Portland real estate hadn't become so expensive that it's beyond the reach for many of us. I'll keep praying that more will be done to help bridge the gap between those who can and those who cannot afford adequate shelter. Thanks to Lina and her community partners for participating in sharing this truly inspiring lifestyle they've all created, at 'Going Places.
I do wonder about people like this, on the surface they seem to have a good life, they have thought about what is important and seem to be living their best lives. But when you look a bit deeper, they seem stressed, bags under their eyes, not as healthy as you would think they should be. Why? Is it because they spend too much time thinking? Too much time trying to convince everyone else that they have the answers instead of just enjoying life? Who knows.
This is a community I would thrive. Love the idea of shared utilities and resources.
Life is too short to think so small.

...this is not an intentional community....this is just a roommate situation with and even larger amount of space and larger foot print than your average roommate set up. all they talked about was all the things roommates have to deal with. except these people get an exceptionally large amount of space, an individual bathroom for each person and a kitchen set up for each person. im sorry but sharing a washer & and dryer and choosing to use the big kitchen instead of the kitchens in the tiny homes does not make this an intentional community. i cant figure out why anyone thought this was special. the only special part is that this home has two ADU in the backyard instead of one. an ADU is an accessory dwelling unit.
They created community guidelines around shared values, show in their consensus decision making, conflict/resolution procedures, regular structured meetings and scheduled shared meals with rotating cooking duties, etc. This level of cooperation and planning is not common in roommate situations for many many folks. From our POV, they are a true cohousing community. Defined as a semi-communal housing consisting of a cluster of private homes and a shared community space. Residents share ownership, expenses, and resources like tools and in tasks, such as household repairs.
Whatever you want to call this it is special to these people, and what lovely people they are 💜
@ Bethany Day - To understand you just need to take a hard look at society today... Most people are rather anti-social and won't know their neighbors, let alone co-operate with them for any common goals and share any resources they don't have to... There are the occasional exceptions but actual communal living outside of families and dormitories is just not the norm these days for most people...
Besides, being on the same property is not the same as sharing a room or apartment. So this is not a roommate situation, each of them are in their own separate home and yes, an ADU is still a separate home! Being roommates also doesn't mean you need to co-operate much beyond sharing the rent or have any common goals. Roommates can simply share a room or apartment just because it's more affordable that way and lead completely separate lives otherwise. It's not always the case that roommates will be friends or have any real reason to form a communal living situation beyond the basics of sharing the home. But an intentional community is by definition a planned residential community designed from the start to have a high degree of social cohesion and teamwork.
It just doesn't really matter to an intentional community whether the property is privately owned by one or co-owned and shared by the group. But if that was ever a issue, depending on local rules it is possible for a ADU to become separately owned. Some places even allow the creation of micro-communities with up to 7 homes on the same lot but otherwise a large enough lot can also be sub-divided into smaller lots and each sold to a different owner. Options like the condominium process can allow all buildings on a property to be separately owned. So just research what's allowed in your area...
@@TinyHouseExpedition if you, and any one else, doesn't think that those things are necessary parts of living with other human beings (aka roomates) then you likely shouldn't be living with other human beings.
i also dont believe for a moment that the couple (the people who actually own everything there, i highly doubt they would consider any of their roommates to have shared ownership of their 3 homes) there would not be more than happy to kick those two girls out the moment they felt they "needed to move on."
The tiny houses on this channel are like a woke awakened lifestyle or something
