Anyone live in or consider a Tiny House?

Being able to move a house with relative ease is attractive. The 200 square ft ones are way too small but 400 Sq ft might me reasonable for a couple.

All depends on what area you are parked.
I could easily do it by myself, but I would need attractive surroundings.

400 is still too small. 700-800 is more reasonable.

There are few things in life more satisfying than a beautiful, tight box.

Buying a used mobile home is cheaper and gives you more room than buying a 400 sq ft. Tiny House.

living in a camper is nothing new...sure, it will save some money, but it is not something that most people could stand for very long.
once the tv shows go away, so will this trend...

They're called RVs
The tiny house on a trailer thing is crazy but living in a smaller economical house is understandable and will happen more and more if real estate keeps outpacing earnings unless people stupidly take out 50-year mortgages. I think 500-600 sq ft, give or take, would be what a couple would need and not want to blow their brains out.

I couldn't do it - not full-time.
Now, could I live in a nice RV for a month or so in a cool place - sure.

I'd do this is a heartbeat if I was single.

Intrigued with the idea/concept, but the bathroom situation my send my wife screaming when I come home in the afternoon

I understand the roles of flexibility and a lifestyle it can provide you. But I feel like it's such a crazed trend right now that in a few years the investment will have disappeared when you're ready for more stability with a home and no one wants to buy these anymore.

You mean a trailer?

My beach house is 1100 sq feet. My primary home us 2700.
To be completely honest, my family of three seems to be much happier when weaver in this home. We're never cramped and we spend more time together when we're here.
I honestly believe that the modern mega house is a complete waste of resources and they do nothing but provide so much space that a typical family never interacts with each other.
As a kid, I grew up in a 1600 sq ft ranch style home as a family of five. We somehow managed to not kill each other.

Funny this thread showed up. Watched a tv show last night where they built a 150 square foot tiny house, then i switched to a mega mansions show just to see both ends of the spectrum 
. I think a nice inbetween would do, 150ft is not enough but I don't need a mansion where you wouldn't even step foot in all the rooms

Hell No

This would be about the smallest I would consider...800 sq. ft. Anything else would be as a friend so eloquently described "A fart box".

Yes... it's called an RV.

I live in a city where often this is the only option, and for $2000 a month.

I'd rather live in a houseboat, at least until winter. It gets cold as frick on the river with the wind blowing. One thing I damn sure don't miss about my old lake house is the winter.
