You people scare me! There's just 2 of us retired old farts rattling aroung in our 2800 sq ft home and have a large finished off to look like the home pole toy barn behind and we use every inch of both and would like to have even more room. Ultra cheap taxes, very upbeat neighborhood, virtually crime free area, very low utility bills, maintenance free structures. There's also just 2 RV's presently in the back yard with one being a fulltime living capable 5th wheel and 3 boats (one with a cabin and has bathroom facilities too) for when we want that tiny house type living urge.
All 5 mentioned are easily towed with a 2500 pickup to move from place to place as desired anytime and can park them about anywhere we want to. No taxes or grass to cut ever and don't even have to own the land these 5 sit on! Sure wouldn't be any better living in a cramped 256 sq ft tiny cabin like house! We'll take an RV anytime over any of these fad homes! BTW, these tiny homes are not allowed in our locality/township anyway.
You are in a very different financial position compared to the typical twenty something these tiny homes are aimed at. Recent grads with little to no experience and huge student debt don't have much choice if they are tired of renting. An RV is a depreciating purchase, never an appreciating asset, tiny homes are supposed to hold their value much better, but only time will tell.
