re: What is the board's opinions regarding tiny houses?

My earlier camp joke aside, it does kind of bring up something that is interesting to me when I watch the house hunter type shows. I find it humorous that we, as a population, seem to require a ridiculous amount of space compared to everyone else in the world. You see a couple that's looking at an apartment abroad that sees a 2 burner stove and a half size fridge and they immediately freak out. What couple has so much cooking going on that they ever have more than 2 burners going at a time? On top of that, the same place doesn't have a 2 bedroom closet for her shoes so that's obviously a deal breaker. I know land has been cheap in the US until recently but doesn't it seem some kind of compromise between these ridiculous tiny houses and our standard McMansions seem to be a better answer?

New homes are 1,000 sq. ft larger today than they were in 1973. It has less to do with need and more to do with ego.
People wonder why people seemed to be able to afford more in the 70's while making meager wages, housing is a good place to start.
