@SW-User the issue with that is once again, capitalism and greed. There was a tiny house trend in France as a form of protest and escape from the trappings of materialism.
What happened to them?. They're now incredibly expensive and have become a middle and upper class trend being sold for unaffordable prices. That's what happens when the market touches it.

@SW-User those are cool but they are problematic. The main issue with them is they are very,very often heavily polluted from their prior use. Especially the cheaper ones. Also when all is said and done they aren't much cheaper than any other typical tiny home built from scratch.
I was looking heavily into them years ago.
