A Third of Us Wouldn’t Mind Living in a Van Down by the River

Chris Farley’s old “Matt Foley” character might have been more inspirational than we thought . . .

A full third of Americans say they wouldn’t actually mind “livin’ in a van down by the river.”

30,000 people were asked, “Would you ever consider van life?”  They defined it as “a lifestyle that involves living and traveling in a converted van.”

36% of Americans said yes, including 13% who actively WANT to do that.  52% said no, and 9% aren’t sure.  Almost HALF of people under 30 like the idea.

The same poll also found 44% of us wouldn’t mind living in a “tiny house” with less than 500 square feet of space.
