This lady needs to get a life and leave this man and his tiny houses alone. He has a legitimate right to do what he wants on his property. I hope he builds all 40 houses and takes all her business.
Standard boomer Karen who got hers back when houses were free and spends her time bitching about people trying to get by in the world her generation fucked over.
i aprove of the tiny houses!! there are so many people that can't afford homes like the one she lives in nor want one so big. there is nothing wrong with tiny homes any where is virginia. i approve like i said. if they own the land why not build a tiny home if they want one. this lady is scared she would lose business is all she is worried about. she is not concerned with all the homeless population that would benefit from a tiny home.
Right but no..people who are into Tiny Homes will seek out his place specifically and go there for the experience....they wouldn't even think about a B&B. I am an airBNB customer, not a hotel or BNB goer who has recently stayed in a community like this in PA and other tiny homes, so I'd know.
You can't speak for all people and their reasons for visiting an Inn/Bed & Breakfast. I would be more inclined to stay at the property with the tiny homes before ever stepping a foot in her Bed & Breakfast. This man went through the proper protocol to get his project approved and yet this woman is still complaining? It's his land! He can build whatever he wants! I love how the Chair of the Economical Development Counsel title is stated first and then the fact that she runs a bed & breakfast in her home. Seems to me that she is more concerned with losing business. Also, since she is so concerned with the environment, I would like to know how is building multiple smaller structures any worse than one or two large ones? Stop with the envious attitude, the vindictive intent, and let this man live his life!
You afraid he's gonna take your business. Tiny houses are the big rage right now, it's about living smaller and leaving smaller footprint. Not everyone wants or needs a 4-5 bedroom house
Precisely. Curiously she did not expand on the "environmental concerns". I am all for environmental protection, and if there are real issues they need to be addressed, but from the sound of it, this was not it.
She likely has lost more business with her uppity attitude and class separation mentality than she ever would have lost to the tiny house farm. What an elitist snob. This is America. Please leave creative, ecologically minded people alone.
On one hand, I can understand her concern about turning a beautiful rural area with large stately homes into a crowded area of tightly clustered tiny subdivision homes. It kills the vibe. On the other hand, a lot of people don't approve of 1 lady taking up a lot of acreage for one giant home.
I also understand both, and I vacation spot I went to and still go in de by the beach was once fairly wooded and large amounts of wooded and natural lands and as of recently more and more of it is developed, ruining what part of what made the area so great. It would be easier to do this in an area with tiny homes. With many properties have upto 40 homes in mini neighborhoods. That doesn’t seem quite nice.
Read the comments section and you will see the problem is not tiny houses. She feels entitled to exclusivity on the bed and breakfast economy of that community.
So these are the people stoping me from building my tiny houses, I’ve been looking for land amd I can’t believe all the restrictions in the areas I love.
I love his tiny house cabins w/ a view. I wish there was tiny houses to rent and/or buy in Manasses, VA when I lived there. I hoping Anne Arundel Co (Laurel, MD) is thinking of joining this movement. Given how so many of us lost family members & jobs this year and last due to the pandemic, it would be a great investment in our communities. The more affordable housing is the more we can invest in local, small businesses.
She needs to trust her customers. There are enough that will choose her place and some will choose his tiny homes. Everyone will want something different.
Classic KAREN ! Rural Economic Development Council and owns a Bed and Breakfast in her home and yet she is up in arms over Tiny Homes. She called them "Cabbins" lol 😂 😂 That for me told me everything I needed to know about this KAREN.
What's the problem? The Tiny House owner is acting within the law and in a very ecologically minded manner. The property density is 1/2 acre per tiny house minimum. With the house spacing, I would hope he is using a non combustible siding as it appears the houses are spaced closely together.
She's a whole snob! Economic living baby! Not everyone's dream is to pay on a house they'll eventually go broke behind. People want and need to live comfortably especially if they have kids to take care of...go tiny homes!
Serious? Lady is a stick-in-the-mud and worried about her own bottom line. Don't worry BNB owner, tiny house fans aren't even looking at your BNB. ANd those BNB clients couldn't fathom staying at a Tiny Home community, which has been described as "glamping" by community owners before. Separate clientele entirely.
I know tgis was 4 years ago, and hopefully things are better now...BUT, I find it interesting how the news is covering this story as if,"Can you Believe this man building tiny homes??? How dare he!!!". That's the vibe i got from this story...like they feel sorry for the estate owning lady. I personally would LOVE the opportunity to stay in a cozy tiny home with views! Not everyone wants the same experience. He should be welcomed to the community instead of being portrayed as a bad person for being innovative enough to bring something different to the community. Welcome him instead of being SNOOTY and maybe she should go stay in one of the tiny homes 🙂😀
I love the idea but I would have put them a little further apart and maybe in a rectangle with sidewalks and a common place in the middle like a firepit etc I get why he lined them up that way, probably the view but they are too close to each other
I can see what she is saying. She seems to be trying to keep the rural feel of the area, especially since people pay to get away from developments and such out by going out there. I do like the tiny houses, too. Hopefully he fosters a rural feel with them being there.
Tiny houses are great. This lady needs chill out! Environment concerns, really? I don't think the guy shouldn't of build them all in row (looks tacky), but he owns the land.
Please, lady...you just sound jealous that you didn't think of it first. And if the visitors don't come out to rent the tiny homes, what do you have to worry about. He wont end up with 40. If they do, then you are wrong and the area will prosper.
Sounds like this lady is trying to deny right of choice. If people want big, they stay at yours. If not, well, that's how it is. Lady, You do yours and let others do theirs.
Maybe she should put a couple private tiny houses on her property for guests as a option! I bet many would choose the tiny house 🏠 option!? No I don't want to give a meeny any ideas lol God bless them both.
Why wouldn't she support tiny houses? She should be happy it's not a giant developer coming in there destroying thousands of acres and building communities full of huge homes, without giving her B&B a second look. My family and I are in the process of converting a shed to a tiny house as we speak... we love nature and preserving as much of it will be the main goal on our land.
I think he should push for that Karen’s bed and breakfast to be illegal because it’s not aesthetically pleasing to the eyes considering people gouge their eyes out while staying there with that crazy Martha Stewart wanna be.
I thought this was America where you can make just about any business you want. Or put just about anything on your property but the city will just change the code 😂
This is a retaliation of those with big houses and thus the elite that do not want tiny houses in the world. That is the wrong way to approach the addition of alternative housing. Elitist limitations as these will become homes for people one day, not giant like her house that is clearly upper class. There must be change it the rules to allow for tiny houses and not continue to let those with the most money make all the rules in their favor for nothing more than their opinion or tastes, keeping down competition, and elitist propaganda about tiny houses being potentially ecologically bad. How so compared to the utilities and costs of the big house for one couple and guests. Massive waste of heating and cooling when the crowd is not there renting rooms.
What did she say? Tiny houses aren't in keeping with rural character? Has she never seen the original rural country cabins people lived in before they earned enough money to pay for more than one room? Or earned enough to add indoor plumbing and electric lights? Or earned more money than they knew what to do with and spent it on so many square feet they have to hire someone to help clean and maintain it?!
Okay so what environmental concerns? How is this an issue? Sounds like they want either a cut or are scared it’ll turn their nice little white oasis into little ghettos. I see a lot of profit here. Many couples are on a budget and would love their privacy, having a detached space would give them the peace they would love.
Her opening comments expose her own envy and jealousy that she didn't think of it first. Her biased classism and soft undertone of hidden racism should not be allowed in any position of power for she is abusing her authority to fit her agenda. Systemic oppression by wealthy people like her is part of the problem why many people can't just live a simple life for fear that their rich lifestyle will be cramped somehow. Just because a person isn't rich, doesn't mean they don't pick up after themselves. Some of the dirtiest most wasteful people are rich. For her to complain about others having a crumb when she has it all is classic entitled narcissistic behavior. Don't put nor keep these kind of views in power.
This lady needs to get a life and leave this man and his tiny houses alone. He has a legitimate right to do what he wants on his property. I hope he builds all 40 houses and takes all her business.
Right? She’s your basic Karen
Amen to that
Standard boomer Karen who got hers back when houses were free and spends her time bitching about people trying to get by in the world her generation fucked over.
Bad case of classism, and her desire to have her entire community look and behave how she deems worthy, her version of civilized wealthy people.
Sad day in America when people make it so hard for you to be a business owner. Go tiny houses!!!!!
i aprove of the tiny houses!! there are so many people that can't afford homes like the one she lives in nor want one so big. there is nothing wrong with tiny homes any where is virginia. i approve like i said. if they own the land why not build a tiny home if they want one. this lady is scared she would lose business is all she is worried about. she is not concerned with all the homeless population that would benefit from a tiny home.
I agree with Wanda mcgann
These aren’t for poor renters their for rich vacationers.
She is his actual competitor. She doesn't want them there because it would impact her own Bed and Breakfast.
Right but no..people who are into Tiny Homes will seek out his place specifically and go there for the experience....they wouldn't even think about a B&B. I am an airBNB customer, not a hotel or BNB goer who has recently stayed in a community like this in PA and other tiny homes, so I'd know.
typical democrat that doesn't like capitalism
The lady just doesn’t want the competition. Tiny homes are the new future as people are done with high rent and big house big mortgages
You can't speak for all people and their reasons for visiting an Inn/Bed & Breakfast. I would be more inclined to stay at the property with the tiny homes before ever stepping a foot in her Bed & Breakfast.

david yes..ol Karen complaining ..this guy did all his work..f u karen
And that's her problem...She will lose her Bag
You afraid he's gonna take your business. Tiny houses are the big rage right now, it's about living smaller and leaving smaller footprint. Not everyone wants or needs a 4-5 bedroom house
Precisely. Curiously she did not expand on the "environmental concerns". I am all for environmental protection, and if there are real issues they need to be addressed, but from the sound of it, this was not it.
@janewright315 - Actually, she did explain her concerns, it's urbanization she fears...
Exactly...
She likely has lost more business with her uppity attitude and class separation mentality than she ever would have lost to the tiny house farm. What an elitist snob. This is America. Please leave creative, ecologically minded people alone.
Nobody wants to sleep at Grandma's inn when there are private Cabins available.

Read the comments section and you will see the problem is not tiny houses. She feels entitled to exclusivity on the bed and breakfast economy of that community.
She's just mad that she won't be able to charge crazy prices for her place. She doesn't want competition
Too bad!!! I love the tiny house movement and I think it's a wonderful idea!
So these are the people stoping me from building my tiny houses, I’ve been looking for land amd I can’t believe all the restrictions in the areas I love.

LEGALIZE TINY!! ALSO INCLUDE TINY HOUSES ON WHEELS
He is smart but she is just afraid of losing business
This is just pure jealousy!! She doesn't want to lose income and she deserves to loose it all!!
Classic KAREN ! Rural Economic Development Council and owns a Bed and Breakfast in her home and yet she is up in arms over Tiny Homes. She called them "Cabbins" lol 😂 😂 That for me told me everything I needed to know about this KAREN.
Let people do as they please it's his property!
What's the problem? The Tiny House owner is acting within the law and in a very ecologically minded manner. The property density is 1/2 acre per tiny house minimum. With the house spacing, I would hope he is using a non combustible siding as it appears the houses are spaced closely together.
She is mad because he is smarter then she is.
How about an new update ??
She's a whole snob! Economic living baby! Not everyone's dream is to pay on a house they'll eventually go broke behind. People want and need to live comfortably especially if they have kids to take care of...go tiny homes!
She is only bothered because she’s afraid of competition I wish she would mind her business 😒
This lady is bored. Please get a hobby.
That’s her hobby 🤣🤣.
Tiny house .....YAY!!
Serious? Lady is a stick-in-the-mud and worried about her own bottom line. Don't worry BNB owner, tiny house fans aren't even looking at your BNB. ANd those BNB clients couldn't fathom staying at a Tiny Home community, which has been described as "glamping" by community owners before. Separate clientele entirely.
Found my local Karen
Racist comments.
Like calling her a "gringo" GO AWAY or refute with intelligence.
I know tgis was 4 years ago, and hopefully things are better now...BUT, I find it interesting how the news is covering this story as if,"Can you Believe this man building tiny homes???

Tiny homes can be moved.
Anybody know the cost to build 1 or 18 of these homes?
I can see what she is saying. She seems to be trying to keep the rural feel of the area, especially since people pay to get away from developments and such out by going out there.
I do like the tiny houses, too. Hopefully he fosters a rural feel with them being there.
Tiny houses are great. This lady needs chill out! Environment concerns, really?
I don't think the guy shouldn't of build them all in row (looks tacky), but he owns the land.
This lady needs to get a damn life
Karen's just being haters , Im down with the tiny homes keep up with times so many alternative living spaces
Does anyone know if the project was completed? Ir didbig money run him off?
What the hell is the problem?
so… did he complete his project?
Please, lady...you just sound jealous that you didn't think of it first. And if the visitors don't come out to rent the tiny homes, what do you have to worry about. He wont end up with 40. If they do, then you are wrong and the area will prosper.
Sounds like this lady is trying to deny right of choice. If people want big, they stay at yours. If not, well, that's how it is. Lady, You do yours and let others do theirs.
wow this is the most stereotypical NoVA NIMBYism I have ever seen
Lmao saaaaalty
I think the Tiny homes are great. Average people will get to enjoy the country as well as the rich.
I hope he puts more on his property. His property not hers Its his property. He bought it it's his land.
No, the inn owner is scared of loosing business. Shame on you.
I have faith in humanity again. I appreciate the comments on this video.
The competition is Great! Go Tiny homes!!!
I love it. I wish I could buy one
Could have sworn I heard someone say doesn't fit with the country vibe. That just doesn't make any sense people build little cabins all the time LOL
Maybe she should put a couple private tiny houses on her property for guests as a option! I bet many would choose the tiny house 🏠 option!? No I don't want to give a meeny any ideas lol God bless them both.
Damnn she’s a hater lol
Why wouldn't she support tiny houses? She should be happy it's not a giant developer coming in there destroying thousands of acres and building communities full of huge homes, without giving her B&B a second look. My family and I are in the process of converting a shed to a tiny house as we speak... we love nature and preserving as much of it will be the main goal on our land.
i would love to live in one. i need to leave florida & come back home to virginia.
I think he should push for that Karen’s bed and breakfast to be illegal because it’s not aesthetically pleasing to the eyes considering people gouge their eyes out while staying there with that crazy Martha Stewart wanna be.
The big concern is people will have affordable housing and not be slaves to mortgages anymore. They don't want to give up that control.
Ralph and I built a house for free. No building permit and right behind his Mom's house. Also, we did it for FREE ! Not one penny spent!
So what's the problem?
Dude followed the rules, got the proper permits, & he is on 20 acres. He went by the 📚 book, now some people want to re-write the book. 👀
When I was growing up in Mississippi, we called those ‘shotguns’.
I love to turn the house Community I hope they have some for the Hampton Roads in Virginia thank you
Let tiny houses stay! I don't understand what the issue is here.
Sounds like the lady is just mad because she might lose some business to people wanting to rent tiny homes, and not stay in her bed and breakfast.
The rich can't stand that people want to own homes too.
It's none of anyone elses business how this man chooses to rent rooms out
I thought this was America where you can make just about any business you want. Or put just about anything on your property but the city will just change the code 😂
This is a retaliation of those with big houses and thus the elite that do not want tiny houses in the world. That is the wrong way to approach the addition of alternative housing.

How so compared to the utilities and costs of the big house for one couple and guests. Massive waste of heating and cooling when the crowd is not there renting rooms.
His layout sucks for a tourist or vacation spot but it’s his land and he should be able to build.
Lady sounds very jealous 🤣
What did she say? Tiny houses aren't in keeping with rural character? Has she never seen the original rural country cabins people lived in before they earned enough money to pay for more than one room? Or earned enough to add indoor plumbing and electric lights? Or earned more money than they knew what to do with and spent it on so many square feet they have to hire someone to help clean and maintain it?!
she scared she gonna lose that money
Sounds like she doesn't like competition...
She is just a hater bc she will lose business.
Why she wants it to change this is to call control her money not for safe reason of the people.she is a gate keeper
Sounds like she’s jealous of the competition and upset she didn’t think of it first.
i understand both point of views and they should both be separated physically... 10-4
She just wants it her way.
Okay so what environmental concerns? How is this an issue? Sounds like they want either a cut or are scared it’ll turn their nice little white oasis into little ghettos. I see a lot of profit here. Many couples are on a budget and would love their privacy, having a detached space would give them the peace they would love.

Rural homes a hundred years ago were not McMansions. $itch please
That lady is ridiculous
Boy, does she feel threatened!
She’s just a hater, she needs to mind her own business. Why hate on someone’s great idea?!?!
What a KAREN
🤔 outside 📦!
Concerns overprofits
❤😂Great 👍
He can go to 40…yea, so? She is crying because she will have less clients.
Stop it karen
Racist you are...
This lady has a bed and breakfast she is greedy and do not want anyone else to make money
That lady sounds like a Karen...🤔
She's big mad
Envidiosa 🙄
Wow what a Karen... Sad
The Classic Karen.🙄
She is just hating
Haha! Some people are unbelievable. Get a hobby Karen.
Get a hobby besides name calling. Calling "Karen" is SO RACIST.
