Cooperative Living, Tiny Home Challenges, Support for Landsharing

Around the country, people are trying to get their housing needs met with Tiny Homes on Wheels (THOW)*.  Unfortunately, many are getting told by their council that they are in breach of the building act and the resource management act. 

Policies differ and can even be contradictory between central and local government planning regulations—is it a building or a vehicle?  What does fixed to land mean? How long can it be lived in before being considered a dwelling? These contradictions create insecurity for people living in tiny homes and for the landowners who have offered their land for a THOW to be parked.
