| Tiny houses seem like a fun idea, but nobody really understands how difficult living in one really is. Unless you're a minimalist with almost no possessions, living in a tiny house isn't really feasible for most people. Most people who have lived in a tiny house ended up regretting it. |

He's likely talking about something like this: I think each of us posting a picture of a favorite one would be coolio in this thread. Especially since it shows the background in which you would like it as well. Sort of a "You a mountain or sea person" type of deal. @Anushura You down? This thread just motivated me to get myself a patch of land and move an RV on it. Seems like the cheap way to get a vacation house "we" all dream of. photophobic said: i'm down with living in the middle of nowhere, but a place like that would be almost claustrophobic. Deep down, why do you think that is? No place to hide the bodies, or? |

| I like watching videos about stuff like that, but I don't really find it practical (for me at least). I require a good internet connection and to be within driving distance of some stuff (grocery store, at least a few restaurants, maybe a movie theater, etc). The small aspect of it wouldn't be a problem, though. I lived in a studio apartment smaller than a lot of those houses. |

No place to hide the bodies, or? as much as i enjoy burying bodies in my house, i'm more inclined to say that a tiny house would be claustrophobic because there's nowhere really to move - you're very much forced to stay put. i presume the air feels quite stuffy, consequently, unless you're constantly going in and out of the home. |

Anushura said: So I find these house pretty cute. Would love to build those $5000 house. For me the only downside is tiny bathroom. I like my bathroom to be big. What do you think? Would you leave your million dollar villas, flats and accommodation for $5000 tiny houses in middle of no where? I dont have a villa, but a tiny house would be cool. We get kinda rough winter weather here so I would probably freeze to death. I'd try it if it had high speed internet tho since thats the one thing I cant live without. I'd want a modern one like this: |

Why would you... no, man, no. You need the comfort of privacy which usually comes with bigger territory. Burying comes later. Live the moment, live the moment! |

| why spent 5 thousand on a house when you could potentially live in a cave instead, or make a cheap little dwelling with the materials you have already |

Silvr1010 said: why spent 5 thousand on a house when you could potentially live in a cave instead, or make a cheap little dwelling with the materials you have already Dude.... ... Fucking hell. You're focusing on the monetary problem without even asking whether you want this or not. That's the thread. It's up to you how you get the tiny house. Just... do you want the tiny house or not? |

| I live in an efficiency condo of about 420 sq. feet and it has enough room for me. |
| Life Is Short But Intense. |
| I Googled some $5000 homes and saw houses with probably no insulation, probably no electricity aside from a few solar panels or a generator, definitely no internet... I don't need a ton of space myself, but that's not the point. |
| My subjective reviews: katsureview.wordpress.com THE CHAT CLUB. |
| I'd be down with it. I wanna live in a car at some point, so a tiny house would actually be bigger than that. If I have room to have a bathroom, shower, a bookshelf, computer, one couch, kitchen, a closet, and a space to park my car, then it's all good. |
| I appreciate the tiny home movement as a reaction against the barbarity of McMansions. Tiny homes can be a bit of a "playground of the rich" type thing and aren't necessarily practical, but I think the principles (efficiency, sustainability, modesty) are sound and applicable to building in general. |

Would you leave your million dollar villas, flats and accommodation for $5000 tiny houses in middle of no where? I think the tiny home movement is ridiculous. What I would like to see is those tiny home shows do follow up episodes showing five years later to see if some of those people are still living in them. Because some of the episodes I seen show people with kids moving into one of those tiny homes, people who were living in a large homes moving into those tiny homes,, people who like to socialize and have guests in their homes moving into those tiny homes, or people with big dogs living in tiny homes. These don't seem like the type of people would be good match for a tiny home. The only people who would be a good match for a tiny home are probably minimalist hermits. If you like traveling then get a RV travel trailer. Same cost but more bang for your buck,more roomier, more road worthy and can be parked anywhere. Tiny homes don't gain in value and are classified as trailer homes. So you can't just park it in your parents backyard or friend's driveway and mooch off their utilities. People in other countries live in tiny houses or apartments. They don't do it out of choice.They live in tiny homes because they can't afford anything bigger. |

| condo is practically a tiny house less maintenance good for me. |
On one hand I like them but they are just so small which would get to me and it would make me feel I need to go outside a lot. I would live in one if it was cheapest way I could get by on my own. I would more likely enjoy a dome home with multiple domes seporate and connected. Some types are able to withstand fires, earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes and bombings.

| I don't see the point of a hipster tiny house when you can pick up an old camper from the 1980's for less then $1k and with more room. I tried downsizing, but I like room for my anime crap and all my other hobbies. I can't imagine the tiny house community being very fun since there is no room for anything of personal interest. Maybe living in a tiny house is their hobby? |
 |
| @Anushura I wonder how many years it would take to build one myself, and what my parents would say if I started random construction on their land, LOL @traed bombings? |

AnimePixelz said: I just watched a video earlier today, about a tiny house. Ngl, I would defs wanna live in those, they just look so cozy and comfy and it's cute! but then again, there won't be a lot a space which is annoying... ;/ i saw that earlier this week too! otherwise i wouldnt have known what OP was talking about. i think a tiny house would be fine if i was living alone, but if i had a roommate/partner/friend or even a pet, it would not be a great experience. |
| nah, staying in 1 place for too long is boring, i wanna crash from hotel to hotel, and put straw hats on kids and then ask them to return it to me when they become successful |
katsucats said: I Googled some $5000 homes and saw houses with probably no insulation, probably no electricity aside from a few solar panels or a generator, definitely no internet... I don't need a ton of space myself, but that's not the point. This. City regulations usually prevent people from settling tiny houses on properties. So you'll be living in the middle of nowhere, with a massive commute to work if you even still have a job, no internet, insufficient electricity to support a gaming habit, you won't be able to socialize your pets, plumbing will be such a nightmare that you will be hesitant to use your toilet, you'll be far away from basic emergency services, your hippie garden alternative to shopping will be at the mercy of the seasons/pests, and most importantly there will come a time where you will realize it's too quiet and regret entertaining your Henry Thoreau crisis. |
| It's not as fun as it would seem. I dealt with it for about a year. Having no place to put anything was a nightmare. |
| I have an uncle who lives a in a tiny home. Technically it was one of those pre-built sheds that he modified for living. He's lived in it a few years and has no complaints as far as I know. But my uncle was once a brilliant architect so the tweaks he made to it were very nice imo. Like before he became a bum that man used to design circular houses. Houses shaped like a fucking circle! Really cool homes back in the 70s/80s. Personally I'm not in a point in my life where that would work for me. If I was single with no kids I'd probably go for it. Being married with kids. Absolutely not. Maybe once my kids are grown and gone it could be a revisited idea. I'm ok with small spaces. I hate clutter. I don't actually have a lot of possessions. I have maybe a weeks worth of clothing and that's with wearing the same jeans a couple times. I don't collect anything. For me it could be done. Most of my home is overrun by my kids and my spouse. I could dig a tiny house. My family could not. |
| If my house was any smaller, I'd be living in my bathroom. |
 |
| My parents got me a massive house to keep that they saved for years to buy. After living in my current big house so long with my family the idea of downsizing sounds awful to me. Also, living in the city would be awful too imo. |
 |
| I would not like to live in a typical tiny house we see nowadays. Even if I were to live alone, I would still like to be able to move around. But I wouldn’t like the normal-sized ones either. Perhaps something in between. |

| I would not mind living in a small house. Seems cozy |

| tiny and dirty house is a perfect place to have a wild sex |
 |
| All I want to live in is my bedroom, I'm half kidding. Why have a lounge if you won't use it, and such? I like studios the most, they're way cheaper than others and I hope that they're quieter. I actually love that open feel of it, too. It feels spacious even if it has less space overall because you can see each part of the building (and technically make each section of the room as big or small as you want). |
