Minimalists are apparently into Tiny housing. Hobbits and elves too. With the cost of housing escalating in Oz, and with some people even struggling to find or afford rentals, they might become a necessity in some shape or form. I could live in them, or in a caravan, or on a yacht. I've lived in a tent for a while, and in my car. I'd have to get rid of a lot of tools and toys now though, which might not be a bad thing!
cant you donate them to a mens shed?
I think yachts arent that tiny, and caravans only ok for summer. I heard they can be iceboxes to live in during winter.
what is the diff between tiny house and apartment if they the same size anyway.. the tiny house is going to take up more space on the land anyway than apartments so its not really a tiny house.
its not the cost of HOUSING, its more land supply thats the problem. Someone is greedlily holding onto the land...? esp in country side, where they dont want houses. But there is room cos you can divide paddocks into land for houses, if you just give up eating meat. OR keep some land as in common and use it for grazing sheep, without needing a lawn mower.

"1.8%".... That 1.8% is enough space for a 2000 sq/ft "family dwelling" for every "singe person" on this planet, and a 2839 sq/ft yard. That's a nice little garden wouldn't you say? Not to mention, there's still 98.2% of the ENTIRE EARTH left over.
The world is a lot bigger than your TV screen...

I couldn't see myself living in such a tiny place. But could if I had too. I personally think they want too much for some I have seen for sale online,

Yes, they're pretty exxie. There's some traps in building from shipping containers too.
I could do Tiny House living as long as it was mobile, or I could regularly escape to a coffee shop or into the woods, otherwise I'd go troppo.

you know how you read some science books and writers say off hand that humans all used to live in trees back millions of years ago... as if we were all like monkeys and apes how do they actually know that. Or are they just making stuff up.

Man's imagination running rife.
Here's a lot that were (are???) into treehouse living. Might have been some of their ancestors they were referring to:

Just think its ironic that humans CUT DOWN trees to build houses, when we could actually be living IN the trees.
after all, apartments are already stacked one on top of each other so theres no rule that says you all have to live on the ground

Except over here you'd likely get mauled by a narky butcher bird or get whacked off your perch by a low flying bat.
I do agree though, we humans have far from exercised goodly dominion over the planet, in fact we are far more adept at pillaging it!
but but but we need somewhere to park our supermarket shopping trolleys!
A tiny house is the perfect solution dont you think? It can easily fold down to fit in one of those trolleys so you can load it into your car that lives in a garage thats bigger than your tiny house.

Yes, well, there are people that sleep under bridges that use a shopping trolley to cart their meagre possessions, and food supply if they have any, from place to place. I think it would be good if we in the wealthy countries go and live for a few months or so in the harsh living circumstances of those in poorer countries. We'd be far less likely to complain about what we don't have, and be far more likely to express gratitude for what we do have and share it with those that don't have!
you can do that in your own country rather than take resources from anothers and expect them to host you
because there are rich and poor in the SAME country, maybe you just dont see it, though I dont know many that complain about what they dont have, rather its people who are wealthy that complain they have too much.
eg. I have heard people complain they have so much stuff thy cant fit it in their own home. So they put it in their garage which is about the size of a tiny house lol
i have read two books about really rich white men who go on trekking journeys in the himalayas. Maybe its just copying Edmund Hillary I dunno, who said he climbed mt Everest just cos its there.
Anyway, they both come across a poor mountain village where the children dont go to school because its just to hard to get a school built there, and nobody knows how to read etc. So they promise to return with lots of money to buy books, materials to build schools etc. But at first they only give english language books and the villagers want material in their own language.
So then they decide to get publishers to print books in their own langauge. These people already live in tiny houses, actually mud huts with only one room. and not just for one person, its for a whole family of six or more.
But they have no schools and no libraries.
so its not that anyone needs a bigger house, really. Or a smaller one. what people really want is education and the chance to go to school and learn, and to be able to read.
If you dont know how to read life will be very tough and chances are you will end up in a huge house with a tiny room...its called jail.

I dont see the appeal of a tiny house but everyone has to live somewhere and have a roof over their head
but little free libraries are all good.
Here though we keep books in old fridges that people throw away
so that people dont have to go dumpster diving in rich peoples places.
Although, going dumpster diving in a rich area is an eye opener of what people who have too much stuff throw out. Most of it brand new or not used!

I always thought of school as jail
You've hit on a salient point though, and that is we ought ask people in need how they think we can best help them. Sometimes what is needed seems obvious, but there may be a hidden and more immediate need we are not aware of.
