A new survey of just over 2,000 Americans reveals over half would be willing to live in a tiny home.

Affordability, efficiency, eco-friendliness, and minimalism were cited, in that order, as the four most attractive factors that the tiny home lifestyle has to offer. Privacy and mobility, however, fell lower on the list.
The pandemic shows no sign of abating in the US, and thus, neither has remote working nor remote learning. And according to Business Insider, that's led to a boom in the 'office in a box' market, in which people install minuscule 'home' offices in the backyard. In a recent survey of just over 2000 American consumers, 54% of respondents said they would buy a tiny office. Among them, 62% said they'd purchase a backyard unit. 30%, reported that the ideal tiny office would fall between 200 to 299 square feet. In terms of pricing, 26% said they'd spend less than $8,000 on a backyard office unit, while 23% said they'd fork out between $10,000 to $19,999.

"Several studies have been carried out to understand what has happened to this species, but basically, it is the loss of its habitat that has caused it to be in this degree of threat"2. "That is what has it so critically threatened. All these sites that we are now seeing were forest before, and now the agricultural frontier has been growing and all that forest has been lost, and in areas as high as we are now, at 3,500 meters high, natural regeneration processes are very slow"3. "This species is especially important because there will be no more than 300 specimens here, it is super low the number of specimens of this species"4. "How can we genetically guarantee that this species will continue to develop? It has a peculiarity, the reason for its name. It has its legs covered with white feathers, so it gives the impression that it is wearing Zamarro pants"5. "It is one of the problems with which we have to work here, but we have to look for the mechanisms to work and live with people. Because people obviously are also in need, they are people with limited resources"6. "The jocotoco foundation here encourages tourism, many of the people who work here are people from the community"
