    the tiny home trend was kind of an extension of this to me. while yes there are valid reasons to downsize from McMansions to maybe just what we need but no one ever mentioned it’s because they’ve been priced out of the housing market.

      eh, if you watch tiny house tours on youtube, a bunch of them mention that this way they’re mortgage free and get to have savings. some mentioned that the only way they can afford to do this is cos they have a friend or some family member who owns land and allowed them to put the tiny house on it for free/very cheap.

      the real kicker is tiny house communities. which are trailer parks for downwardly mobile “middle class” people.
