The latest push on HGTV is “Tiny Houses.”
Yes “tiny houses” are hot, hot, hot right now.
Never mind that they are just homeier looking RVs.
Yes , but even metropolitan areas shun and forbid such housing
While more affordable , many building codes forbid such economy of space , as if it will result in a lower tax base for municipalities, with the same demand for services.
Many building codes forbid such economy.
Around here where I live you can not build a house less than 720 square feet. It is total crap. So I built my brother a cabin on stilts that is 490 square feet. It has a bathroom kitchen living room and a bedroom that is 10X16. It meets code other than size but does not require a permit because of the stilts.
They just keep adding more and more requirements that run the cost up with little benefit. Like having such a low air flow loss that the house now requires a air exchanger. Never mind that just opening the door ruins the air tightness of the house.
Now trailers being just as good as a stick built house is total BS. I have replaced many roofs on trailers that failed because they had no ice and water shield like code requires on a site built house. Try to tell a owner that you have to replace the roof deck because it is rotten in 7 years. Talk about pissed off. But most by this time know just how cheaply built they are.
the “Tiny House Movement” is not an actual movement, but rather part of the elitist agenda to crowd people together in order to make them more manageable.
HGTV does the bidding of the elites. Their normalization of homos should be the immediate tip off.
