Small World: The Tiny House Trend

I don't understand why these are so chic, but manufactured housing isn't.

For these quoted build costs, you could do a pretty highly upgraded singlewide, and it would age better than any of these and can actually be permanently installed onto a foundation.

I would guess it's because most people's experience with manufactured housing is the base model kind, where everything is super shoddy.

Also lack of exposure to some extent. People can only dream about what they know.

Manufactured housing comes without the desired social signaling.
