Zack Giffin on Skiing, Tiny Houses, & Big Solutions

Skier Zack Giffin (host of the TV series, Tiny House Nation & co-host of the podcast, Tiny House Tales) makes a compelling case for how smaller living spaces can be a significant part of the solution to affordable housing; homelessness; climate issues, energy consumption, and creating more socio-economically diverse communities — which is a fancy way of saying, real, actual communities. This is another important addition to our conversations on mountain town economics & affordable housing solutions.
