Portsmouth Board Approves Controversial Home Variances
In Portsmouth, neighbors protested the construction of a three-story home on an undersized lot, but the Zoning Board of Adjustment granted necessary variances despite opposition. The proposed home, to be built by Patrick and Wendy Quinn, will have 2,197 square feet, four bedrooms, and three bathrooms, but neighbors argue it will disrupt their way of life. Meanwhile, a unique house in Maumee, Ohio, features bulletproof Lexan material throughout, raising eyebrows and questions about its security measures, as it is listed for $399,900. The trend toward tiny living continues, with the introduction of the Whidbey USA Park Model, a spacious yet mobile tiny home designed for comfort and luxury, while studio apartments across the U.S. are getting even smaller, averaging 445 square feet. In Australia, the Southern Downs Regional Council is seeking community feedback on implementing small homes to address rising housing pressures, aiming to gather insights on minimum dwelling sizes. This trend reflects a growing interest in affordable and sustainable housing solutions in response to the current housing crisis.
