Downsizing in Magnetic Vancouver, B.C.

I read an article about retirement and house size recently. If we don't use our houses primarily as a storage unit (a significant issue from where I sit and look about this morning), there are many new and interesting options for downsizing to something a bit smaller and more affordable. Calculations show that it can be one of the more influential decisions to meet retirement goals. And off my mind goes, a'wanderin'.

Recently there was an article and pictures of clever 'hobbit hole' type housing, and now this one to meet the demand for influx of people to Western Canada in these and coming years. Skim the pictures or read the informative article if you have extra time. Seem doable?

Happy 021212.
