It stayed small.
People realized they didn’t want to spend $100,000 to live in a shed?
Here in Canada it went nowhere, in fact it’s booming, including many provinces creating new zoning laws to accommodate.
The whole article seems to define “influencer social media participation” as a metric. In that case, hopefully it as a fad dies off. It’s a solid option for some, but def not for the majority.
It feels to me a lot like most nomads who hang up thier keys. Most can’t hack it, but I love it going on 6 years now. You see this a lot in vanlife scene as well, when most people realize life eventually normalizes and the inconviences to them outweigh the benefits.
My partner’s friend paid weekly at the tiny home builder and spent time there helping out during each week or when he had spare time. It got built fast and because he was there all the time he could see they weren’t cutting any corners.
We watch tiny home tours all the time and it gives up ideas so that some day if we find property up north or someone opens up a tiny home community in the lower mainland we will sell our full sized home and get a tiny one.
Yep there’s communities popping up over the place here too. My plan is to build mine on family land and then eventually move it to my own land in 5 years, it’ll be where I stay for winters and then go travel again in summers. I have a couple of friends that want to do the land buy and community together, but I figure if I build a home as mobile it doesn’t really matter how that plays out.
I personally thrive in small spaces and the freedom is the cherry on top.
