Small World: The Tiny House Trend

I'd be more impressed by "tiny" houses (~20% of normal size by my own definition) if they didn't cost 50%-60% of a full size house.

I agree with this. The main reason is that there are a number of fixed costs mostly relating to building codes which are a good thing (IMO). Building materials are not the main cost (though they are considerable) of building a home.

Also the land. The price of the home is often a fairly small part of the price of the property.

That's why you see a lot of these tiny homes built in the parents backyard.
