Tiny house, eco-house, self-catering farm, multi-generational house – bestselling author Anne Weiss talks about seven housing experiments in her new book. About how to not only have better living conditions, but simply have a better life.
She not only looked around the OASE (Oasis) in Cologne, home of the street newspaper DRAUSSENSEITER (The Outsider), but also asked herself how it will be possible to live with dignity in the future if housing policy does not change.
DRAUSSENSEITER: In your book, The Best Place to Live, you describe your exhausting but interesting search for a home. What sparked this search for somewhere to live? Was it the hole in the roof that the owner of your previous accommodation hadn’t repaired?
This article first appeared in Draussenseiter, a magazine sold on the streets of Cologne, Germany by people who have limited other ways of earning an income.
