I left my life in DC to live in a 400-square-foot tiny home near Tampa. I feel like I have more space and I'm saving money so I don't regret it.
- Stefanie Mortenson, a 53-year-old HR director, moved from Virginia to a tiny home near Tampa, Florida in May.
- Her 396-square-foot dwelling at Escape Tampa Bay Village's tiny home community cost her $159,000.
