People Are Seriously Regretting Buying Tiny Houses

Between their efficient organization and streamlined design, tiny houses have totally taken over on TV and social media in the past few years. The idea of scaling back on belongings (as well as mortgage payments) is certainly appealing. But how many people could-or would-be able to actually live in 400 square feet? Not many, according to a recent report by Trulia.

The online real estate resource polled more than 2,264 U.S. adults about what they wish they had done differently with their current housing. A whopping 44 percent of participants had housing regrets, and the biggest regret among homeowners had to do with size. One in three homeowners said they wish they had chosen a larger home, compared to only nine percent who wished they had downsized.

There has been plenty of criticism around tiny living. "Deep inside the expensive custom closets and under the New Age Murphy beds, the pro-petite propaganda has hidden some unseemly truths about how the other half lives," Gene Tempest penned in a personal essay for The New York Times. "No one writes about the little white lies that help sell this new, very small American dream."

As Tempest points out, the items in her microhome (in which she lives out of financial necessity) seem much more imposing than they would in a larger space-and they get more wear and tear, which accelerates the rate at which she must replace them. Plus, building a tiny home comes with a host of challenges, including but not limited to, complying with business codes and securing a loan.

Still, others swear by the benefits of tiny homes: They require less money and fewer materials, and encourage living simply and wasting less. The number of current homeowners aching for extra space is actually down one percentage point from Trulia's 2013 survey, so perhaps the recent tiny house movement has convinced a few converts. Still, 33 percent is a pretty big chunk.

Meanwhile, the biggest regret among renters (at 41 percent) was renting instead of buying in the first place-yet only a third of renters feels more positive about the possibility of owning a home than they did five years ago.

but seriously folks what do you do with this white elephant when new shit comes to light?

I'm guessing the same thing you would do with anything that has some sort of value that you don't want/need anymore. Sell it.

Yeah, it's probably a little more complicated than selling a lawnmower on CL, but I'm sure it's not rocket surgery.

Too funny. Maybe "Honeybucket Living" will be next after that.

LOL!! Bring new meaning to "take someone to the woodshed"

In that case, how far behind is the dog house?

Because middle age fatties and old fogies have travel trailers, while young, hip douchebags have tiny houses.

SIMPLE!

A "reclaimed" tent and a shopping cart made of old ship lap.

At least the shopping cart would have 'open concept' .....

[mall walker]

itt: a lot of old people who have not lived in an apartment for many years

[skaredshtles]

I'm still waiting for garden sheds to catch on.

Bro-sheds, man.

I thought tiny homes were for midgets?


Backyard beer shacks or Manshacks have been around a couple years.

Last year I saw the spin off Shesheds.

Why not get just get an RV if you want it mobile. I can understand building a smaller house on a foundation if you are interested in less but if you're going to haul it around there is already something made that does that in an efficient way and I bet the price is about the same.

vs.

This:

The first pic is of what used to be called a "Park trailer".
Main functional difference between a park trailer and the more conventional RV below is that a park trailer is made to be parked in a trailer park 99.9% of the time, and thus omits water and black water holding tanks along with any semblance of roadworthy or aerodynamic design.

A lot of local ordinances and covenants specifically prohibit "park trailers", along with RVs and mobile homes, in areas not zoned for such...

"We didn't think it would be this difficult," said Sheffield. "They don't tell you about this stuff on H.G.T.V."

This seems to be quite common. Great romantic idea, but the devil's in the details of the execution.

Unless you already have the land with proper zoning / large enough for no fucks given. Then why not just build a small house?

Now I know what to call bad versions of that, I had no idea what it was properly called before. I've seen it well done, but most of it is Shit Lap.

Nice shit analogy, muted.
