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?

Yes and no.

On the negative side they would be pure misery for a physically handicapped person. Impossible to get beyond the front door for someone in a wheelchair.

While that may not be seem important to an able body 50 year old, the thought of having to shop for a new house while hospitalized and recovering from hip surgery is a bit of a turnoff.

An interesting comparison is between the home pictured above to what's being sold to seniors in many senior-living communities.

@Heartlander You're right, tiny homes as they are now with a bedroom loft are not ideal for those with physical limitations unless it's all one level.But then for those wheelchair bound, such a limited space would make it very difficult to maneuver around.

True, the last thing one needs after such intervention would be to search for a house.

I do hope they make special consideration when building these homes for the physically challenged and senior citizens, the requirements are totally different and it should meet their special needs.
