Sung is very organised and resourceful and impressive with her positive attitude with creating a home in such a small space

Santa Monica has one of the most expensive real estate. A friend of mine just recently bought a 100 year old, 1290 sq ft house on a 7405 sq ft lot for $2.3 million. It is 5 blocks from the beach. The weather there is unbeatable. Mild and comfortable all year round.

The pricing on rent in popular areas is outrageous. But I do like the architectural design of the space. I would enjoy it more if there was a functional window in the bed space & bathroom. I enjoy airing my home out on nice days with a cross breeze. But I do like how she incorporated the outside space as part of the living quarters. She made it work for her. Kudos!

I would personally prefer to live in a "traditional" tiny home. I could not love a city enough to live this way to afford staying there.

Prayers and Blessings for Miss Sung! I live in a 27' camper I converted into a toy hauler to have my motorcycle with me rather then taking trips in just one of my modes of living/LIVING. The hardest part for me was tool storage as i repair vehicles and build or remodel homes. On a motorcycle trip, being the one with tools is difficult to finish some repairs but with the camper carrying specialty tools and bigger items i can be much more capable. My greatest benefit is hooking up to the truck and driving where i want to be or where the work is. Choosing what is important is easy, letting go of the other items in life is hard unless you commit. Thank You Miss Sung for being an example. I wish all and You Miss Sung, a very Merry Christmas and a Healthy Happy New Year. With Love and Respect, You are in my prayers Hoka Hey

I think she could sell anything! The way she talked about that rolling rack and outdoor space. Very cool bathroom and impressive minimalism.

I appreciate you adding accurate captions and not relying on auto generated captions, which are inaccurate.

I have been looking for a tiny home to live in the greater LA area, and came across the listing of place she is in. While it wasn't a good match for me (the bedroom felt too claustrophobic, and I need a cooktop), I am impressed with how she made it her own.

I loved everything about this video as Sung had nailed what exactly are the true values of living tiny. We do actually inhabit small spaces - go to any larger house and you will see massive waste and redundancy - empty rooms and few in use. In Sung's tiny house everything fits snug. She can go outside and exercise on the beach or in the gym. In her tiny space she has everything she needs. I liked the notion of creating and curating her space. Everything she did was with a purpose in mind. The design aesthetic was good too. I think that Pareto's ratio might be applied to house/home design. 80% green and 20% house or living space.

Stuff like this scares me. I mean A LOT. Especially for a single person looking to some day save enough to buy a small/tiny prefab home that's maybe at least 800 sq ft. But for only a 140 square footer, this is what this girl has to pay for?? Jeez!

Downsizing is wonderful. This seems to work for her is a match. Rent is awful but she is in Santa Monica. Thanks for the videos.

Super cute. Great job using the outdoor space. I rented something like this in a nice, but not quite as nice, area of LA for $1k. This was in 2011. TBA $1.6k is NOT bad for SM at all, that was prices a decade ago for lousy looking places or even just a room. My place was a little bit bigger than hers but also had a (100%) outdoor kitchen- mine was covered though. Weather is so beautiful in that area, by far the most serene places I've ever called home. I hated LA so moved but that place was really beautiful, I could easily see why someone would want to live in a calming, minimalist space like Sung is.

What a beautiful, chill woman. You are so neat, clean and organized. A fine woman like yourself deserves more living room than that. You do. It's a cozy little place because it's your place. That's what makes it special. To me it would be like living in a phone booth. lol I realize Cali is rental and real estate hell though, you have made a peaceful sanctuary for yourself in all of that collective chaos, it's nice. I have exercise equipment though, I couldn't fit it all in such a tiny space.

I feel so blessed that I was able to 100% completely pay off my mortgage on my 3 bedroom 2 bath home back in April. Not having a mortgage payment is definitely life changing. Funny thing is since my divorce several years ago I was able to save so much money I was even able to retire early and will be living abroad to to three months out of the year. Financial literacy is vital for long term self sustainability.

Nice life ❤ excellent vid 😊 she seems so happy and it honestly goes to show you don’t need that much space !

These are starting to no longer be “tiny homes.” These are closets because rent is getting ridiculous everywhere and so many can’t buy homes because of the housing market and many are paying so much for so little. We shouldn’t be normalising this. There’s a difference between true tiny living snd sustainable living and this. If she’s happy, awesome, but these tiny homes are getting smaller and smaller and more unrealistic.

And many lots are zoned for livestock, but not like a lot of livestock. My friend has a horse and takes care of several ducks on her property. I truly love it here.

For perspective - My mortgage on a 4b 2.5b home is $1,600 a month in the outskirts of HOUSTON, Tx. In a good school district - close to major freeways, 20 mins from downtown and in an area full of shopping and commercial real estate. I suppose compared to NY - this is cost effective. However, I can only imagine the cost benefits and savings she would have if she moved elsewhere - even within California. But to each their own. I would love to downsize to a tiny home in my golden years for sure.

People who live in hong kong live in much smaller unsanitary places and pay just as much. So she’s doing actually great to have a nice place with everything she needs plus an outdoor space and utilities included in her $1600 a month rent!
