Changes

The '''"tiny house"''' movement is a non-movement towards smaller homes and simpler lifestyles. It began in earnest in the 1990s, but has accelerated in the [[Financial_Crisis_of_2008 |current financial climate]].  During prolonged peace and economic gains that were the legacy of the [[Ronald Reagan|Reagan]] presidency, U.S. home sizes increased. This trend was accelerated during the so-called "housing bubble" that resulted from the ow interest rates seen during the Bush Administration response to the [[Clinton]]-era "dot.com" bubble. With larger houses consumer spending went up and more durable and non-durable goods were purchased to fill these houses. This created a spiral of materialism and consumer debt that contributed to the financial collapse realized fully under the policies of the [[Obama]] Administration.<ref>[http://www.notsobighouse.com/] Not so big house, one of the leading publications in the movement</ref>
