If it was in a nice location, I think it would be awesome to live in one.
Hiya back. Thanks for the welcome.
You could get a 30 foot yurt and live next to the water and fish!
Yeah, like that's going to work in the 7 degree temps we re expecting tonight.
And intimacy in those kinds of cramped conditions?
No thanks. That's not for public display and it ain't happening for an audience.
I doubt the makers expect it to serve all markets. I’m glad to see capitalism at work and expanded choices.

A Mongol, a seasoned yurt dweller, was asked, where did he go when nature called. The answer, “Behind the yurt.”
We decided a couple of years ago that a tiny house would be perfect on our farm in an nearby state.
My husband, daughter, and her boyfriend built it over the course of a year, and we moved it to the farm last April. All I did was the plumbing, and paying the bills. We still lack the solar set-up to run a few lights, and hopefully that will get finished this summer.
You can have a look at it: https://www.pinterest.com/selmalee2013/building-the-tiny-house-2014-2015/ You’d have to start at the bottom of the page and go up to see the progression :)
Its great for a week or so at at time, but to live in full time - NO WAY!
Two yaks in a yurt yukking it up?
For a brief vacation, yes. Long term? No wsy!
You could leave the yurt and sleep in your Yugo.
Don’t knock it. Some of us see appeal in the simple life, saving money and reducing possessions to save cash and focus on efficiency. Nobody is compelling anyone into a tiny house.
But it does raise the question of why welfare housing is so expensive and sizeable, when a fine little place can be had at 200 sq ft.
I want that. Would look nice in my sailboat. ;)
Yep, they are trying to prepare us for our coming lives in Obamavilles.
I am sure they are enthusiastic about it at first, but, after the novelty wears off they are sick of it.

Hmmm... It want me to “Sign Up!” to be able to see your site... Sorry!
“Nobody is compelling anyone into a tiny house.”
I call bullshit on that. Tiny homes, pod living, micro apartments, shipping container houses, etc. have inundated the media outlets. The push is to get people to live like rats, so that they can be exterminated with minimal remorse.
Anyone who watched Fifth Element saw many facets of the agenda which were coming, and one of them was living like a cigarette in a full packet.
Nice!
