a viable alternative to buying a house?

Yurts!

I've been fascinated by these since seeing one at an exhibit of Mongolian artifacts at the National Geographic Museum some years ago, I love the philosophy behind having a full house you can assemble in an hour and take with you.

Of course, I'll have to buy a proper house with a yard if I ever want to have the space to build one. Oh, the irony....
