- Description
- As rents and housing prices skyrocket, tiny houses have become exceedingly popular over the past few years.
According to Business Insider, buying a tiny home demands a number of critical decisions by the prospective homeowner.
Most importantly: where are you going to put it? Zoning laws vary enormously, and getting permission to erect one can be difficult.
Second, why do you want a tiny home? To save money? To be mobile? To make less of an environmental impact?
The answers to those questions will have an enormous influence on your ultimate choice.
Finally, what is your budget? The more work you do yourself, the less your home can cost. Happy hunting!

- Rwandan genocide fugitive Felicien Kabuga ended his 26 years on the run on Saturday.
Living under a false name, Kabuga was Rwanda's most wanted man, with a $5 million bounty on his head.
According to Reuters, he was arrested on Saturday in the upscale Paris suburb of Asnieres-sur-Seine.
Kabuga was a frail, elderly man of 84 who said little to neighbors and who would take a stroll most days outside of his apartment.
His arrest paves the way for him to come before the Paris Appeal Court and later be transferred to the custody of the international court.

Eric Trump's comments come as his brother, Trump Jr., also said that the coronavirus — which has killed more than 88,000 Americans — was invented by the Democrats to cancel his father's campaign rallies. Public health experts — including some in the Trump administration — believe there will actually be a larger, even more deadly, second wave of the outbreak in the fall and winter.

"Taking the red pill" is a common internet trope about an individual shifting their political views rightward. It's commonly used in forums dedicated to topics like Donald Trump, "men's rights" organizations, or "New York" described in this way in an article writing about the meaning of "taking the red pill" in 2019: Online, "to red pill" is to learn that you've been defrauded and misled, that you've bought into a false and diabolical lie, and that your only way out is to obtain true knowledge about the way the world works.

When de Blasio shared the order's text with New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, the governor reportedly derided it and said that the term "shelter in place" sounded "like it was a response to a nuclear apocalypse." Cuomo eventually locked down the state of New York on March 22, but the delay is likely a contributing factor as to why the state has become the US epicenter of the coronavirus outbreak.

Residents there have disproportionately high cancer rates. Now, a new paper reveals they're also facing higher death rates from the novel coronavirus COVID-19.
According to Gizmodo Earther, black people make up only 33% of Louisiana’s population. However, they make up 56% of the state’s COVID-19 deaths.
Data shows communities of color across the US are being hit by the pandemic at a higher rate than predominantly white communities.
Many essential workers on the frontline are non-white and can’t work from home. This puts them at a disproportionate risk of exposure.

Bernie Sanders was conspicuously absent and did not vote.
Now, many of his staunchest supporters are wondering where he was.
Slate asked Sanders spokesman where the senator was at the time of the vote and why he did not do the job he was elected to do.
A Sanders spokesman has not responded to Slate's request for comment about the senator’s whereabouts.

- According to Gizmodo new studies suggest that summer heat and humidity won't stop the spread of coronavirus.
With weather warming up in the Western hemisphere, experts say that people should continue to social distance through the heat.
Peter Jüni, a clinical epidemiologist at the Institute for Health Policy, Management and Evaluation at the University of Toronto said “The message is simple: Summer won’t help us to resolve this problem.”
A Canadian Medical Association Journal study found that differences in temperature and humidity had little bearing on the coronavirus’ progression, rejecting preliminary research that said otherwise.
Jüni said that the new study is much more rigorous.
MIT’s Sloan School of Management and China conducted similar studies that align with The Canadian Medical Journal's findings— heat won't stop the spread of COVID-19.

That's an indicator the strategy might not be working, which came as a surprise to Swedish epidemiologists.
Last week, the head of Sweden's coronavirus response said in an interview on "The Daily Show" that the country's high death toll was unexpected.
