I used to think I was fine with tiny living, because my entire childhood home was 20 sqr meters, but I now live alone in such a space and it's too small. I have huge windows, but the walls are closing in. The space is too small to furnish in a way which wouldn't hinder an aspect of everyday life. I'm so tired of algorithm trying to convince me tiny living is fine when it shows even worse conditions than mine. I wish I lived in 30 sqr meters or so. 40 sqr meters are way too burgoise for me, but I could use extra 10 sqr meters solely for the purpose of farting.
My spouse will occasionally binge watch some flavor of home improvement/renovation show and last year it was some tiny home themed show they were watching and it was ... bizarre.
The first thing I notice was that the "tiny" homes were rarely being sold for less than a "regular" sized home. So, like, what the fuck is going on with that?
The second thing I notice (which I have to keep reminding myself that these shows are "reality TV" so there's fake drama all over the place) is that the people buying/renovating/looking for a "tiny" home... don't actually want or need a tiny home. They typically were younger than 40, wanted to entertain guests, have family/friends be able to eat and sleep there, AND it was like 50/50 whether the family in the show would have VERY young children. None of these things are conducive to "tiny" home living.
So like... its all just house flipping with a tiny home aesthetic.
