This article and the comments are interesting. What is the difference between a "tiny house made of salvaged wood" and "a shack built from scraps from the dump?" The answer in a word, is "marketing."

If "Brianna O'Brian" was "Tanisha Redhawk," a black/red/brown girl wanting to build a shack on her parent's land without a building permit, I'm guessing the comments would not have been so nice, if the article had even been written.
