Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

I think you are either too wealthy or too attached to city living to understand the point of these.
Tiny homes:
are affordable to anyone with almost any income, not just $80-100k+ a year incomes (which are practically mandatory now to buy a home in the current economy)
Can be set up literally anywhere that zoning allows for
A good choice for off-grid/prepper lifestyle
A good choice for solo living or for a couple to share with no kids
Hell, at that price point, buy two and have an awning setup in-between them to link them.
Privacy from the kids and still under $38k.
I'd get one as an in-law suite even!
For the 18k they're charging you could get like 3 12x24 foot sheds, plus some shit to put inside of it, which is a hell of a lot better than one 20x7 hut.
