No they are not.

Nobody wants them. Nobody wants your stucco crap build in a field 4,000 sq foot godless garbage house.

And on the flip side, nobody wants your Marxist "tiny house" on wheels that can't be parked either.

Actually people want both. Sorry either trend bothers you, but they are both quite popular.

It’s not healthy to be consumed with envy. While some of those 4,000 sq ft McMansions can be eyesores, I don’t begrudge those with the means to build them. I’m staying in Naperville this week which is probably the epicenter of suburban wealth in the Chicago area. What amazes me more than the nonstop gated communities are the miles and miles of strip malls with zillions of restaurants and scores of big box stores that repeat themselves every few miles. People here eat out 4-5 times a week. It does seem to be a nice place to raise children as there are tons of ball fields and parks. The traffic is something else though and these Illinois people love their traffic lights. It can sometimes take a half hour to crawl one mile and the light stays red for as much as five minutes at a time.

My wife and I recently relocated to Connecticut and downsized to a 3,000 sq ft home. Seems big for two people but we wanted to have extra bedrooms so our grown children can visit yet not make it so comfortable that they want to stay too long. We have a dog and four acres of land, mostly woods, for the dog to run around and collect ticks.

Yes, they do. They are popular and sell nicely.

You sound like a deranged liberal: “godless”?

Tiny houses are ridiculous. Ok, fine, some people don’t need more than a few hundred sq ft of living space but the first time they twist an ankle, they’ll be wishing for a nice little single story ranch. Besides, those tiny things are waaay to expensive. Buy a camper for less.

At what square-footage does a home become “godless”?

Envy is a dangerous thing.my brother in-law lives in a mini mansion. I think it’s sterile and that he got taken. He thinks my place is too small and can’t stand to come over which suits me fine. To each his own said the man as he kissed the pig.

People actually are looking for both.

Isn't it nice that we have a market that allows both and all between to be built?

My niece and her husband are in the market for a tiny house. These is only the two of them, he is deployed for months at a time and she works 60 hour weeks on average.

They have no need to have anything beyond tiny.

A friend of mine is looking for a six bedroom minimum plus in-law apartment house. They have ten children and his parents and disabled sister live with them.
