"\"So many of us see our chances of owning a home, *any* home, dwindling into nothingness.\"\r\n\r\nThis. This is why I want a tiny house. I don't need it to be one of those teeny cute ones they show on TV. Also, unlike the people on those shows, I wouldn't turn my nose up at a mobile/prefab home, which basically the same thing, only not as hipstery. I'd be willing to deal with a composting toilet, though I fully recognize it would be a pain in the ass, and I don't have a bathtub where I rent *now* so that wouldn't be a hardship... I don't think of those things as quaint or somehow beneficial to my character, but as things that I would be willing to endure in order to have a house that was my own.\r\n\r\nI actually like watching those shows sometimes because they occasionally have clever ideas on living in small spaces, but it does bother me that they show tiny houses as basically a novelty or a \"fad diet\" for a certain class of people (I wouldn't say \"wealthy\" exactly, but certainly wealthier than me) who wouldn't be caught dead in a trailer park and who think living like a pioneer would be anything other than hard ass work."
