Or you could just go old-school and purchase a fifth-wheel travel trailer: more room, less stairs, already comes with kitchen and bathroom of its own.
People had no running water or cooking facilities in most 19th century tenements. Is that urban ideal coming back?
Wow, those cars sure knew how to dominate things.
I see older used boats that are more than enough to live on in port(marina) all the time for less than this and it's a much cooler living space.
BUMP!
You nailed it.
Liberals can’t wait until we’re all jammed into homes like that.
Nothing more exciting than a very tall, skinny house in a strong wind storm.......
the first gust of wind ... and that will be laying on its side.
So you crap in a bucket and shower with the Village People. Boy those Swedes sure are progressive. Hell the 19th American century pioneers had an outhouse and a well.
Helsinki is in Finland.
Years ago, one of my coworkers had a page-a-day calendar with sayings from a “Little Book of Advice” (or something like that). One piece of advice was, “Drive an old car, but buy the best house you can afford.” Underneath it, another coworker wrote in, “You can live in your car, but you can’t drive your house.”
Indeed it is. I had just 30 seconds prior read an article about something or other in Malmo and mentally mashed them up. But never mind, all those Scandinavian countries are essentially the same right? Snow...reindeer...particle board furniture in a box with one piece missing...ugly cars...nice rifles...high taxes and lots of white people.
I don't understand why it has to be a "liberal thing" to live economically. As a young single adult, a place like that (provided it had hot water and electricity) would have been perfect for me instead of the ratty apartment I rented for myself before getting married.
Now that I'm getting into my older years and my kids have left the nest, I no longer need the sprawling 4-bedroom house with the five acres (and the taxes that go with it). So long as I have my creature comforts like a walk-in shower, high bandwidth internet and a serviceable kitchen (as well as a deck to park my grill), I would happily move to a much smaller place. Especially now that all my books, music, etc., are digitalized.
Between trees, bridges, stoplights, utility lines, and other obstructions, that thing cannot be moved.

Obviously!
In most states, a transportation rider cannot be issued for a move that is taller than 18 feet, and with good reason.
It is the responsibility of the mover to provide a route that is clear for their move, and to pay for the varification of that route by the affected authorities.
That alone would price them out!

>> “Looks nice, but needs running water.” <<
And a sewer connection!

Suit yourself

False summation !!!!
To live without freedom or dignity gets closer to the reality of the matter.

A friend bought his Mother a 40 trailer and moved it for about $8000 total to a park near Tulsa. Another $4000 for remodeling and Mom now has her own place that just costs her lot rent and a few taxes out of social security.
Newer trailers are nothing like I lived in back in the 60s and 70s. Still not a brick home but nice enough. Mom has her independence and Jr. visits her every week.
Lots of folks live in travel trailers moving around the country. Many churches have ministries where retired folks can drive across the country and help build churches and remodel orphanages. Our church sent a team of 26 to Alaska to help build out a church and plant. Very long drive from Texas, but also an affordable 4 month vacation.
Yeah, the more young people change the more they will end up like their parents, once they wise up.
