$11,000 for a tree house on the ground is a bit much.

Not bad.
Sometimes all you need to be happy is a small home and the means and ability to afford travel.

Miller began to build a 196-square-foot house in 2011, right on a flatbed truck. The cost: $11,400. They're called mobile homes. People in trailer parks live in them inexpensively.

I’m all for it. Get you some land, buy you some plywood, and build you a house. Start small, and add to it, with no debt. Davy Crockett did it. So did Daniel Boone.

From 1987 to 1994, on Long Island, NY, the home of “the mother/daughter house”, I lived in a one-car-garage-turned-apartment!
It was cozy.

Amazing. Expenses are about $250 per month?
and this quote:
“Miller is settling in for her first winter in the cozy home with her 100-pound Great Dane, Denver, and her baby-to-be: She is pregnant and due in March.”

It’s called a trailer house. We’ve had them for years.

Sears Roebuck used to sell a 2 bedroom, kit house for $5,200 back in the early 1950's.
Not sure if it included the building contractors , or was just the kit.
I had a Sears Roebuck house on the corner of my street until it remained for sale for 2 years, and unoccupied .
It was torn down last year , since the taxes didnt go down , even while unoccupied .

Interesting idea.
I have no idea where the sweet spot is but it seems to me they could make it a little larger and still not be very expensive.
When I returned to college to get my masters I decided to just live in my travel trailer. It was 35 feet long so a bit larger than that house but it was perfectly comfortable.
Also to all those people who always talk about trailer parks etc., my next door neighbors were a young couple who had a little six year old girl. They were as nice a couple as I have ever known.
When they turned my power on, they did not hook it up. I had to do that myself. My neighbor was nice enough to do it for me as I had no idea how.

They’re called “Tumbleweed” homes, and they’re a hell of an idea for many people!
A quick search will show MANY innovative and useful designs, from full-time residences to luxury hunt cabins.

First that is not built on a flat bed truck, that’s a trailer, and property is not free, you either need someone who will let you sit on their property and tie into the grid or pay a trailer park to allow you to park on their site, I would hardly trumpet this as a grand solution.

I like it. People live in one or two room apartments. Why not in a one or two-room freestanding dwelling? Looks pretty nice, too. An A-frame might be sturdier. And I wonder about the resale.
