Reframing the American Dream
More than a fad, tiny housing reflects a long history of alternative living and offers an interdisciplinary - and sometimes contradictory - window into consumerism, structural equity, personal aspirations, and political landscapes. Despite traditional housing ideals and challenging local building codes, tiny housing has garnered significant interest from individuals, political leaders, developers, big box stores, and curious viewers of HGTV.

She was reminded of this figure both when her father died, and when her husband Archie demanded a divorce. This event precipitated such a crisis in Agatha's mind that she became temporarily unhinged.
