Re-imagine living Tiny
A paradigm has been gaining momentum over the last decade. People everywhere are realizing that the concept that ‘BIGGER-is-Better’ is a mirage that only enslaved us to our houses & destroyed the sense of community that we once knew. Houses grew while the family unit shrank, compromising our most valuable relationships. The average number of square feet per person in the median new home nearly doubled from 1970 to 2010. Furthermore, one-person households have grown dramatically to 28.37%, up from 17% in 1970.

'Bigger-is-Better’ has produced a steep social decline While income & life expectancy has increased, deterioration of relationships has risen. 1-in-3 people over 65 live alone & half of those over 85 live alone, which contribute to health issues. Millennials are now the largest population who have the lowest rate of marriage while the boomers have picked up a new term, ‘gray divorce’ with the highest rate of divorce. RBG recognizes the impact that Tiny-Homes in backyards and Tiny-Villages can haves by reducing isolation, increasing independence and enhancing purpose of life. With this, RBG will continue to advocate for the solutions that Tiny-Homes offer.
