Reverse GIS'ing it, they're for the homeless, so I don't think the goal is to be cool and trendy. It looks uncomfortably claustrophobic, but these people are probably happy to have some shelter at all.

To be honest if I lived alone I wouldn't mind a tiny home like that. As long as there's enough room to live comfortably it'd be no problem. I tend to hide in my bedroom which isn't all that big when l need alone time.

That's basically what the tiny homes used to help the homeless are. They're just bedrooms and the properties usually have a communal building with everything else the residents need. It really isn't a bad setup.

I'm sure some places build them extra tiny for the homeless, but poor dumbass hipsters, WITH KIDS, are putting thousand of dollars down to live in a place the same size as my bedroom, and acting like it's the cool thing to do. Last I heard they were starting around $40k.

You can buy a 1200 square foot house in Pittsburgh for that. That's smarter than new construction at any size!

yea true, they had it worse a century ago. its verifiably true we should all just settle down and die i guess, not give a gently caress about anyone alive or all the future i suppose whoever comes after can say with a true heart too: "well they had it worse before"

That and never in the history of humanity has technology decreased the number of jobs available. Its called the luddite fallacy.

What's the fallacy called where you assume that a service industry job is equivalent to a manufacturing job? The total number of jobs might not decrease but what we actually care about are the number of GOOD jobs.

The total number of jobs might not decrease but what we actually care about are the number of GOOD jobs. Technology replacing manufacturing jobs is A Good Thing in general. Yeah if it happens to gently caress over people too old to adapt and too young to retire that sucks, but those jobs are disappearing whether we protect them or not. If you resist automation, you'll only delay it a short while. Protectionism fails when your competitors pick the economic solution and out-compete you. Maybe the short delay of protectionism helps workers a few years from retirement, but it fucks those who ought to be switching careers now who instead stay in a dying field.

I didn't say I had a solution. Just that all jobs are not equal so any argument based on that premise, e.g. "Automation increases the number of jobs!", is disingenuous at best.

Afraid there's already a mainstream ad campaign doing this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcLtZlTSbYw Also I thought "buggy whip manufacturers" was the go-to obsolescence poster child.

gently caress manufacture, it's the poo poo's in the wrong place business that's gonna be out of humans before long. Not only are machines better at putting stuff in the right place, they'll kill less humans doing it too, warehouses to taxis to airplanes to container vessels to fecking mobility scooters. That's what 30% of jobs in America no? Probably won't put poo poo in the wrong place to begin with either and o poo poo there went the management jobs too.
