The other part of the fad is the gorgeous photography of tiny houses and articles extolling the concept that was shared widely on social media. It romanticized the idea, and generally avoided the downsides.

The first wave of tiny houses seemed to be mostly self-built and people had poured a lot of love & hours into construction. Then they were all over Instagram/Pinterest. This has paved the way for a second wave, where some occupiers aren't quite as enraptured: mass production (or at least not self-built), living this way by more by necessity than choice.

100% that the “pintrest-izaton” of Tiny Homes contributed to the rad.
They’re also photographed as cabins in lush environments - not wedges behind an Eichler off University Ave in Palo Alto.
