Absolutely. Idc about how much money I make. I don't want to take a lot of space ,as it's not an essential need. It's also more responsibility to maintain.
If I was in a situation where it was just me and I needed to save money on utilities and maintenance yes it could be an option. People in general used to live in much smaller homes than they do now. They might buy a small home when they were first starting out and then save up to enlarge and build on to it as their family expanded.
I've got a small house (like 800 square feet) and that's decent for my wife and I. Also cheap as hell. I think we go smaller you get into expectation vs reality stuff
@starbucksgirly I live in rural Canada in Alberta, a bunch of houses similar to mine were built for military officers upon their retirement in the 1930s.
So it's old without being glamorous but in good enough condition, and importantly $420 a month mortgage. That said I live in a VERY small community so this isn't like, accessible to most people we need small cheap residences in cities.
You could mass produce millions of them using weatherproof materials. Self-assemble flat pack for a few hundred quid change housing laws to enable folk to set one up in their back garden and rent them out to their kids who can't afford to either rent or buy
Hell no, I hate small confined spaces where I have to put something away first before doing another activity. Like those beds that you have to unfold first instead of just slumping down whenever you feel like it. I'd hate those.
I'd rather have a tiny house than a big house. I also think a tiny house would be nice if you live in a warm or mild climate. Because you have the outdoors as part of the living space which is cool.
I have one in my back yard that I rent out. It is 350 sq ft (32.5 sq m). I have a property for retirement where I plan to build one about twice that size to live in.
@Musicman tiny homes vary by size. A 400-square foot one is about the size of an efficiency apartment except they usually seem bigger due to the extra features like storage features an efficient use of space. Also some have a nice porch to have outdoor living.
