Show HN: Live Simple – Tiny homes

You can't park one of these anywhere near an urban area with jobs. They do nothing to alleviate housing affordability. In semi-rural areas without jobs housing is already dirt cheap, so they're of little practical use there either.

My anecdotal experience has been that people who are buying these are creative types or tech workers with remote work.

There was a gentleman who posted his entire progress and his financials for the Tiny House on HN a few weeks back, and parked his in rural Texas. There was another young man who placed his on some borrowed land near the University of Michigan, as what he paid to build his was substantially less than what his dorm would've cost.

Remember, tiny houses get you around zoning laws. They're not homes, they're RVs/trailers. You can get much more creative about where you place them compared to a house you'd have to build.

I tried to find this article and couldn't. Could you point me to it please?

I'm interested in it because I'm in the middle of building a Tiny house my self.
