I'm not OP but being someone interested in off-grid living, personnally I see this as not being dependant and someone else works to keep going. Like ith electricity in OP case they still have electricity, they just produce it themselves.

Phone and internet can't be done yourself and you don't actually directly depends on it, so it doesn't matters.

I'm not OP but I always was in love with the concept of tiny houses. I thought of that same issue a few years ago and my solution would be to build a second tiny house, probably connected to the first one. That would allow them all the privacy they want and would allow them to have some kind of independance in all that.

Personnally though I'm not a fan of tiny houses on wheels, I'm still hoping for a change in legislation that would allow actual tiny house.

My SO just recently started an escape room herself. Look for your government program, there may have something for you. We are from Quebec and there's 3 organisations that helped, Futurpreneur, BDC and Femmessor. Respectively she got 15k, 30k and 20k from them.

Futurpreneur is actually made for young people starting their company and BDC just follow their decision. It's was extremly easy to get theses loans.

You don't actually need that much to start an escape room, we did because we liked a place too much but it was barebone and required quite a bit of construction.

Right to repairs is more than physical repair, it's also software support. It's quite important considering it depends on the internet, thus their infrastructure, which at one point won't be worth it for them to keep maintaining, and will then be shutdown removing the purpose of the toys.

Currently we are fighting more toward physical repair, but both are just as important!

Yes and no, you would still have way less square footage than an house. A small appartment with 2 rooms will give you 800-900 square feet easily, while even 2 tiny houses would be closer to 400 square feet, still tiny ;).

The idea behind a tiny house isn't simply have a tiny space, it's to only use the space you actually needs. The more human, the more space needed, that's normal.
