I've heard of people doing tiny house living because they want to downsize and be more eco-friendly.

They're not really poor people though. More of a middle class hipster thing.

Yeah everyone I know who had expressed interest in this IRL and what I came across when I read about it online suggested this was for younger, middle class people. Maybe it's different in the US, but I didn't really get the impression that it's aimed at poorer people in the UK.

Tiny houses cost less than regular houses. Regular houses require a mortgage for most people while tiny houses may not.

Where is the scam?

What?

Its middle class people wanting to spend less on housing so they can live a minimalist lifestyle and/or spend more on other things. Thats how the trend started.

Scam may not be the correct word but I think the concern is more people trying to normalize the scenario and before you know it the average person has been conditioned to believe a tiny house is the best they can hope for.

Companies are generating record profits which means the money is there, as time goes on things should get easier for everyone. The standard shouldn't go from living in houses to living in sheds, something is wrong there.

I wouldn't have mind living in a tiny house during my 20s if it meant saving on rent. Also not much difference from people who live in trailers

thats the thing rent and housing should not cost as much as they do

but the rich drove those prices up so that the poor cant afford them

now the next step is shove us in smaller spaces

Oh, youre saying rich people can have land with three tiny houses on it and rent that out.

Well Im not sure that would necessarily be a better deal for the landowner than renting one regular house out, but more importantly tiny house owners can buy their own land. Undeveloped land usually costs a lot less than buying a house. And then you can build a tiny house on that land (in fact they are often pre-built)

Anything from $1,000 to $60,000.

I don't think the middle class hipsters who make tiny living lifestyle videos (do poor people even watch them?) are part of a grand conspiracy to oppress the poor.

I really like the idea of a tiny house... If they were built in walkable locations.

The biggest downside to these things is they don't generally gain value over time so you can't go out there and upgrade or whatever at some point as easily.

Without knowing where it is, I have no way of knowing if that is high or not. Middle of San Francisco? That's fucking cheap. Middle of nowhere, then that's absurd.
The price of a home is price of land + price of property on the land, so if the land is valuable, then even a low value house will be expensive.

I'm disturbed but for a different reason.

They're often suppressed by NIMBYs who fear they'll bring their property value down despite the fact that they're a solution to housing.

My city recently embraced this and there's a tiny house community for families that meet criteria for it

TC recently said that they dont feel any sympathy for another user for losing an expensive package because they lived in a condo.
factually false

what i said was i dont care that a package was dillevered to the wrong address

and it was not a expnesive package it was a vacuum cleaner

which would be replaced

and you where more upset about it than the TC of that topic who did not care about my post
