These ‘micro-spaces’ have been pushed now for several years. Personally, I do not have a problem with them until you have to deal so closely with your low-income neighbors! Low-income is also going to mean higher crime and drug trafficking.
I would never move into one of these types of apartment units.
Although, I would consider a ‘tiny house’ on 10 acres of land!
Home and Garden tv has been doing some programs about these micro homes-—some of them look pretty good, tho not for me.
Don’t the Japanese have 8 square foot blocks that are used for “comfort” for those who cannot make the 3 hour train ride home at night? I think the blocks substituted for “short stay” at a local no tell motel.
“...a tiny house on 10 acres of land.”
Lowes sells pre-fab wooden storage buildings that could easily pass for the trendy tiny houses. Just add your own upgrades and imagination.
They’ll even put it on your land for you.
Prices range from $3k to $10k, including delivery and setup.
Other companies online offer tiny house and cabin kits you can self-assemble. Takes 2 people about 2 days to assemble, another few days to fancy it up.
I know people who’ve built really nice mother-in-law units this way.
