Would you choose to live in a Tiny House?

I mean this kind of tiny house, the ones with wheels, mobile or permanent. I see many videos about them and as years pass, they get better at making them seem cozy and lovely. Personally though, I could if I needed to but don't know if I want to....there's so much one has to consider:

Reduced space

Location

Money saved after the building/buying

Freedom to move it anywhere if mobile

Security

Comfort

Minimalistic lifestyle

Pets

Could you and would you live in one ? Pros and cons?

I like my tiny home but I can't have kids stay there, family and friends.. It is just one bedroom, small bathroom and shower , little space to chill and small kitchen. It is not enough to have parties or host gatherings. So I stay in my small home when I am not expecting anyone and it feels nicer and less empty.

@Miram You have a lovely home and surrounded by nature too. Yes, reduced space is an issue if you have lots of relatives and friends and would like them to stay over. Having them over for a few hours, though, can be solved by having an outdoor patio to entertain them, right? But of course, only when the weather permits it. ...but one can also add a pergola over it.Thanks☺

I have Muslim, christian..etc family members and loved ones. Some of them need be indoors to relax. Also, to sleep over. I do own a different home where I relocate not so far. It is just not my preference .

If I were to build something new, it would be a dome shaped small home. I have been in one in canada and it felt way more mind soothing than seeing corners and walls separating rooms. D: eh, the human condition is ever so greedy. There is always something that feels better.

@Miram Having family that visit or stay over is a wonderful experience. I have watched tiny home owners fret over the dilemma of not being able to accommodate them but they seem to solve this matter by adding extended decks that can be enclosed.

I think a dome shaped small house is lovely, open concept with no dividing walls. I suppose you would want it built with concrete. There is also something called a ''Yurt'' :

...this tent-like circular structure built with light materials and is portable. It has been used for centuries by nomadic tribes and is still being used by tribes in Kyrgyzstan and Mongolia. In fact, some tiny house dwellers opt to live in them because they are portable and I believe may even be a lot less costly than building a wheeled tiny house. Oh yes, I think the human condition is quite complex, some want more while some want less but it all boils down to one's instinct of survival and perhaps as simple as what makes one happy☺
