Thought the whole point was that you park it in your parents' garden? That seems fair enough if you can't get planning for an extension and you keep the tweeness in check. Ma and Pa get their BDSM basement back, you save on rent and can share their chest freezer.

I went looking up average house square footage over time, and it turns out American houses have been getting bigger on average even while average occupancy decreases, while in the UK they are shrinking. Kinda interesting. It's honestly sort of strange to see that U.S houses have grown so much when the 'need' for more space has decreased due to smaller families and a decline in demand for spaces like pantries, laundry rooms, and hell, even stuff like dedicated dining rooms.

It is pretty surprising from a UK perspective hearing discussion about US house sizes. The average 3 bed where I am is like 1000sqft or so (southeast so pretty expensive too)

buglord posted:Moving to a small 904sq ft apartment seemed bad at first but the ease of cleaning, necessity for organization, and low cost pretty much sold me on the idea of a small living space. I don't know what the resell market is like on Tiny Houses but i'd imagine it is less than great and im assuming its probably better to buy a small house at that point. I lived for a few years in an apartment that was about 650sq ft (depending on how you measured it) and I still had an extra room I never went into to, a second bathroom only for guests, and enough room to stack nonsense I should have just thrown away because I never used it. It really depends how well it's built. This place was very tidy.

Facebook Aunt posted:Yes. Also more environmentally friendly. Vastly more efficient to heat. Much more likely to be built near amenities and transit corridors. After.growing up with too many siblings, and then bad dorm roommates, and then bad military roommates, and then noisy apartment neighbors for years and years, apartments stop being knee joints of bees. It becomes a mental health issue.

If I'm gonna live in some kinda hipster dream home it's going to be a big weird tree house. I want my hallways to be rope bridges and I want to get in and out of my tree house with a complex system of ropes and pulleys. the only way out of my tree house is a deadly zipline

My opinion of tiny houses is colored by the fact that the only person I know who was into them makes really, really bad life choices. She now lives in an RV. After she bought it she was asking everyone on Facebook if someone could tow it for her to some place. And also to give her a place to tow it to and live. Because she did not have these details sorted out before she bought the thing.

I grew up in a tiny house (not a mobile one, a regular house), and it was poo poo. Would not recommend. 4 people crammed into 500 square feet of space is just a recipe for trouble. We were constantly angry.

Tiny living spaces look cute in promo pictures and then you try living in one and realise that a) you have to clean & tidy constantly because the moment a spec of dirt appears your whole house is filthy and B) every kind of "clever" solution like a table that flips up to become a wall or something stops being fun after two days and then you just pick a position and never move it again

I love the shows Tiny House Hunters and Tiny House World. Here is every show. Realtor: Here is the 100 square foot MicroMansion. No kitchen and you have to poo poo in a bucket. Fully customizable starting at $75,000 Couple: Its really small in here. I dont think there is enough space for us to entertain our 30 friends. Everyone: *disappointed shrugs*

I know in most Canadian cities, there's a small but growing trend toward "laneway houses" in the less dense parts of the city proper. In areas where the lot is still ~3x the footprint of the house, buildings that used to be detached garages which faced the alleys for garbage pickup/parking are replaced with houses that are maybe half the size of the main house and they can be quite nice depending on the architect.

I lived in this a while after a neighbours from hell episode required me to have no loving neighbours for a while. It actually had a fully functional sauna, and a river running next to it. It was pretty nice. I've also lived in a yurt in a quarry and a straw house over the years (although none of them for more than around 3 months) I guess this is more alt/hippy poo poo than actual neat tiny house though.

I actually really like owning a largish (ratty fixer upper) house with amenities like a formal dining room and lots of other rooms and also owning the land underneath the house. The multiple rooms have worked out really well during quarantine, too. I’ve never understood the tiny house craze - it’s basically just a camper trailer with shingles stapled to it and made all photogenic for Instagram. If you want a mobile existence, just get an actual camper trailer because less drag and more structural integrity. If you want a getaway, buy some cheap wooded land in the boonies and build a cabin from a kit (I would love to do this someday). If you can’t afford a house, live in an apartment or move to a cheaper part of the country (what I did). There are places where you can buy a real house (with the land underneath it included) for far less than a tiny house. Buddy of mine recently bought a cute 1,100sqft cottage for 30k. It’s perfect for him and his dog, and he has a separate office and also enough space to have people over (at least when there’s not a pandemic).
