Small World: The Tiny House Trend
Tiny house retention seems to be fairly poor. Search a bit for &quot;give up tiny house&quot; or something and you&#x27;ll get a lot of people giving up the lifestyle, and it seems hard to come by people who have been doing it for a long time. Not impossible, because nothing is impossible, but not easy.<p>It makes journalists swoon, but I don&#x27;t see it as something that has a lot of future to it. Seems like something that sounds a lot better in people&#x27;s heads than in reality.<p>Edit: FWIW, I don&#x27;t disagree that a lot of people have more house than they may &quot;need&quot; and may benefit from downsizing. (Certainly we&#x27;ve got more &quot;stuff&quot; than we need; my wife and I all but wage a constant war on the &quot;stuff&quot; that seems at times to spontaneously generate from the ether.) But I rather suspect the optimum is not in the 150sqft range for very many people, and indeed, not even particularly near it.
