I'm from Canada as well and tiny houses and tiny house village projects are popping up everywhere in my area, with support from both retirees and young adults looking to live a simpler life. With the interest rate hike that was announced earlier this week, it's to be expected even more people will start looking into tiny houses in the near future.

While most tiny houses do necessitate a simpler and minimalist life, most communities and villages are built around the idea of giving everyone their private little abode, with communal areas and parks where resources can be shared so everyone has easy access to amenities :)
