When Zoe Todd finally got her #TinyHome settled onto a new property with her father & sister in #Nanoose, she breathed a sigh of relief.

It had been quite the journey from where they had all lived in #Errington. With her dad on a fixed income & a COVID-related health scare that had her feeling vulnerable, they all had a vision of trying to find somewhere big enough where they could live in community & look after each other.

Though sometimes described as #MissingMiddleHousing, tiny home living is effectively #illegal in many regions, including Nanaimo.

Years after first investigating the possibility of permitting tiny homes as a solution to the #HousingCrisis & even advocating for their use at the 2022 #UnionOfBCMunicipalities convention, the #RDN appears to be backtracking — cracking down on residents like Todd & more clearly defining a six-month limit on those living in RVs in parks & campgrounds.
