Solar-Powered Microhouse

We've seen this at the Farmer's Market (which is also in City Hall Park).  It's really too bad they don't actually have someone living in the house for the duration of the exhibition.  That would make for a more convincing demonstration, though getting the permits might have been dicey.


Part of me thinks this would be a neat solution for graduate student housing, especially at places like Stanford, where the housing is really expensive.  Part of me thinks that it's one thing to have a building to live in that costs less than a small car, and quite another to have a safe and secure place to put it.
