Could you live in a tiny home?
Do you want to?
It's my dream, personally. Comfy and relatively cheap.
>>24558458
Fuck yeah if I wasn't rich enough for a mansion that would do
>>24558458
Would be nice, if they all weren't in shitty areas filled with crime.
>>24558458
More pics plz, I want to imagine I live in one
It would be perfect in the city
otherwise I would like a small house with a home gym so I never have to leave
That looks cute, but there is a reason things are separated into rooms in houses. You don't really want to smell your bathroom when having diner, and then smell the sardines you cooked when trying to sleep.
the only homes where i live are tiny and they are not cheap
>>24558458
I could as long as it wasn't one of those super compact ones like half that size. All those windows would make me feel like I'm living in a fish bowl, though. Even when they were covered I think I'd still feel a bit odd. The trouble is they aren't really that cheap.
>>24558847
Ventilation?
>>24558458
A lot of the tiny homes are neat, but let's not kid ourselves - they are just gussied-up trailer homes.
If you want more images, google tumbleweedhouses
>>24558458
that looks perfect
fuck me
>>24558904
Not at all, a tiny home can be built with traditional methods and appreciate or hold value with upkeep, a trailer instantly loses value and quickly becomes worthless compared to any other living space
A quality tiny home is an investment like any home, trailers and RVs are money pits
Is space uncomfy?
I like the idea of a garden in an inner cloister, like monasteries used to have.
>>24558458
Hey that's always been a fantasy of mine. Depends on how small. Location also plays a big factor. Considering I spend literally 98% of my time in my room, yes I would. It's also cool as fuck I can kind of design it, and make it maximum cozy to my liking.
>>24558458
that is literally a kek shack m8. nothing "comfy" about it. I'll stick inside my nice, spacious house thanks.
>>24558965
Personally yes
That room is not comfy
>>24558458
I want one of these. What the fuck is an "original comment"?
I know this is redneck as hell but a trailer home or RV would be grand, I could move with ease and there would be plenty of space for me. The only problem would be the size of the kitchen.
>>24558949
Most of the tiny homes, like the one above, are on wheels and can be towed by a trailer. They are also manufactured offsite, like a trailer home.
It's all a matter of perception. Because these look more like a real home, only shrunken to tiny size, and clad with wood siding, they get this premium feel. But underneath appearances they are basically a single wide "trailer" or "manufactured" home.
You could see a trailer park filled with these instead of the traditional trailer aluminum-sided boxy trailer homes or RVs. It's up for grabs what type of people would be living in such a tiny-home trailer park, and if it would be the sort of people you normally think of when you hear "lives in a trailer park".

>>24558990
That is pretty neat. A little piece of the outside world, within.
>>24559143
Wife used all the money on strippers leaving you and your kek shed in the lurch?
I want to, but land is expensive as fuck over here. Can't use it near my city because the bylaw labels it as a "recreational vehicle", because of that you're not allowed to live in it within city limits. A lady was fined and arrested for doing that in April. Fucking Kikes.
>>24558965
that doesnt look comfy
looks like an office setting.
Also looks cold.
>>24558458
Absolutely. I don't have much shit and don't need much room. My dream home is actually a yurt, pic related.
They're small but sturdy as fuck, and you can live comfortably in one even in the most difficult natural conditions.
Also, one man can put a small one up in less than a day.
>>24559310
>>24559019
>that
First thing I found on google. It looks cold because of the glass and shitty lights and light of natural light and what not. That's what's particular about that room, but I was talking about space in general.
>>24559145
In homes, it's usually called an atrium. I've seen plenty with an open-air atrium in the center, and all the rooms of the house surrounding it.
>>24559187
You should find a tiny lot and pour a tiny foundation so it is not an RV.
It doesn't seem that small once you're inside if it's set up right. Bunk bed. Lift top coffee table. Bookshelves, stacked washer and dryer, stacked freezer and fridge. Sink outside. Done.
>>24559696
>tiny lot
Those don't exist. Cities have lot size minimums because they didn't want trashy, low-income houses being built I guess.
>living in reddit: the building

>>24558843
This.
>small 1 bedroom high above the city
>modern building keeps it warm
>fall asleep in front of the city lights
No, I have a small room which is really cramped and I hate it.
I'd want one, but it would need to be girt by trees. Maybe in a forest type environment.
>>24558458
yeah anon, this is a trailer
you want to live in a trailer
What about something like this?
>>24562363
meh. Just get a house on waterfront property. This house only has the novelty "heh, check it out my house is on water" but will get old fast and has too many disadvantages.
>>24562384
That's a render, but house boats also have the advantage of being able to move around.
>>24558458
No. I watched many tiny house videos on YouTube. They all have similar structure. It got old real fast. Plus, I can't really have anyone over.
>>24562363
Looks very cool, but a lot of practical issues to solve for a permanent low cost living.
>>24558458
>Could you live in a tiny home?
Yes.
>Do you want to?
Yes. Big houses are overrated. Small and comfy pls.
>Tfw too lazy to make my ideal home
>>24562363
Holy fuck I would not want to be in that when a storm came. That entire house could get washed away in one wave with a sufficiently powerful hurricane
>>24562872
My parents own a Miata en Prius
Funny seeing that.
>>24558990
Like this.
>>24558458
I would love it.
>>24558458
Yes I could and want to live in a small house. It's unlikely that I will be living together with someone, so a bigger house would be useless.
>>24559696
depending where you live, there are often building restrictions for how tiny a house can be, that's why these tiny homes are built on wheels in the first place
>>24562363
yea, I'd love to have a house that's easy for somali pirates to access
not to mention what rough seas would do
>>24558990
GOOD taste.
>tfw ywn run a monastery for lost and suicidal robots
>>24558458
What Minecraft mods have you installed to get a comfy house like that?
My house is smaller than that, it's probably 12x13
>>24564592
Pics please? Is it an actual standalone house?
>>24558965
Yes but you need more effort to keep it clean, or then you need let some wagekek cleaner to come and clean it up. I just personally hate letting someone to come clean my home, since it means I need to be out of the house for that time and I'd have to take all the more embarassing stuff out of sight since I wouldn't be able to trust one of those wagekeks on discression.
>>24558458
I live in a 35m2 home, it's all I need. It helps to rethink possessions, I just don't have the space to store unnecessary things, so either it does something for me and it stays, or it goes into the trash.
Forces you to clean and keep it well arranged otherwise it turns into a pigsty.
Also small and comfy. So very very comfy.
Hey /r9k/, if you could live in any cheap country/city in the world, where would you live and in what living accommodations? How would you earn money for that? What do you think is a good life to strive for that isn't the typical "200k/year Manhattan penthouse" pipe dream?
>not going out into the wilderness and building a comfy wattle and dawb hut using stone tools and fire that you started by rubbing sticks together.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P73REgj-3UE
Its like you don't even want to be comfy.
>>24564839
I guess the heating costs and similar expenses are pretty low as well?
>>24564855
If it's well isolated you can keep the costs down. The problem is that it's kind of old so a lot of money goes into repairs.
>>24559099
Don't be silly. None of the ones built with traditional methods are built like a trailer. These have concrete foundations and all that shit. I've looked at building my own before. They're built how you want to build them. You have to one but yourself to blame if you build 1/4 of a single wide trailer.
>>24563023
I wonder what the lifespan of a lighthouse is? If i was the keeper I would wonder if every wave like that is going to be the last one.

Am I the only person that watches Grand Designs and similar programmes in envy?
There was a local Australian one a while ago on the Aunty that featured a house built in the Adelaide Hills in a forest-y bit. Every room had great big glass walls (which opened at the top), but it was so remote that it didn't matter.
The way the programme was shot (everything was leafy but still well lit) made it look so cozy. I also used to visit my grandparents frequently (they live in a similar area), and one of my favourite sounds is hearing the rain, the birds and the slowly run down the trees/building.
I'd be the happiest person alive if I could build a minaturised version of that house for one, and run it off the grid.
I don't even need the internet or anything.
>>24565421
I suspect they're constructed for the occasion though, Bit sturdier than the average house. Especially the stuff made in the olden days when there weren't any silly engineers running material stress calculations in a computer in order to minimize costs but rather they just estimated "enough to last with a damn good margin"
>>24565421
>If i was the keeper I would wonder if every wave like that is going to be the last one.
Waves like that aren't all that common, I'd imagine.
Even then lighthouses are fucking solid.
>>24565421
>If i was the keeper
That job doesn't exist anymore, it's all electronic now.
>>24565583
>I'd be the happiest person alive if I could build a minaturised version of that house for one, and run it off the grid.
>I don't even need the internet or anything.
Go and buy the property, /diy/ will figure out how to build it.
>>24558458

>>24562363
my only issues with that would be sewage, water supply and power.
>>24564841
That's the trouble, isn't it. Places are generally cheap for a reason, and that reason is often lack of good jobs. If you're working online then you're free to live more or less wherever you want. Property gets really cheap once you move outside of the big cities.
But that's not for me, as big cities make life bearable.
>>24568111
What do you consider a big city? I've been in a few European cities and they're small as fuck, and I looked the list of all cities in the world up, and it seems the only really big cities (apart from New York and Tokyo and such) are actually in various Arabic countries, India, China, East Asia, and so on. There's really nowhere to go in Europe apart from London and Berlin, which are both very expensive.
No need for it to be tiny. Land is practically free in the middle of nowhere, I'll build something around 200 m2, with most of it underground.

Literally perfect.
all fine and dandy sure you got a house but what if your shitty country doesn't allow you to just drop your trailer or whatever on it because muh taxes muh squatting
then the other problem is the cold as fuck winters
>>24568249
>Land is practically free in the middle of nowhere
Yeah, without electricity and plumbing. If it's on the grid, it's not cheap.
>>24568276
>plumbing
well water and septic tank
>electricity
you're, if american, entitled to a phone line run to your house. when theyre running the lines you can pay them to also hook you up to the grid for cheap
>>24568215
A million, or even half a million is enough if the city is well designed. On the flip side even a multi-million megalopolis can feel like a village if it was built by the automobile generation of urban planners.
Paris, Barcelona, Sevilla are all plenty for me. The latter two don't have jobs, the first only has jobs for Arabs. Japanese cities are amazing, and I'd gladly live in any of them, but I'm still working on that nihongo.
>>24568317
>weeb scum detected
>>24568317
>>A million, or even half a million is enough if the city is well designed.
Wow, seriously? Because in cities like that, all the things you can do have the same handful of people in it. You can't really find, I don't know 20 D&D groups that don't know each other, you can't find 20 different tea shops to work in without their owners either being the same guy or knowing each other/having the same supplier, you don't have 20 different Judo classes, you know, that sort of thing.
For a city to be "big" I'd say you'd have to have things like that, which is impossible in 500k-1m cities. So that you can pick and choose your life activities without being held down.
>>24568380
I think you may be thinking of a new world city, where perhaps one tenth of the population is living in the city proper and the rest are in the suburbs. A million people is a lot if they're all in one place.
>>24568448
I live in a city of about a million and it's tiny, you can't go anywhere without seeing the exact same people all the time. I dream of living in a city where I have a multitude of options (but I'm too poor anyway so I guess my life will end without doing anything).
yes i would only single people because people can hear conversations
>>24568587
>what is insulation
>what is soundproofing
are you european?
>>24568276
Nope. With sewage, water, electricity and internet. The counties I'm looking at are over 50% retired people, they are desperate for young ones.
> implying I'll ever have kids
> kek
>>24567867
love this
>>24568501
I seriously think you just go to the same places all the time. A city of a million people should be easily big enough to not run into the same faces over and over.
For those of you looking at big cities, try Hong Kong. When you grow depressed in your expensive 2-square-meter hellhole after inhaling shitty air for a few years you can end it the local way by jumping off a building.
>>24568776

>>24570145
Really? Why do you think so? What would you consider expensive?
>>24558965
It's inefficient. Unless you're a kid or are planning on having kids all of the space is just more walking to get to what you want. I'd rather have my desk be a dining room, living room, computer room, and an office instead of having to waste time walking between different rooms. A house only needs three rooms, a kitchen, a bathroom, and a living area.

I just want to plant a tree in the courtyard and watch it grow/lay down under it when it's big enough.
>>24564849
so fucking comfy
>>24562363
My first thought when I see something like that is wondering what maintenance would be like. The humidity alone would be a nightmare.
Yes. Absolutely but only if I lived alone or with a good friend. It would be so clean all the time
I just want a small but exquisite apartment or home. No renovation stress, no bad plumbing, etc.
Just a small security bubble of comfort and wealth to protect me from the stresses of wagekekoldry after hours.
>>24558458
yes I would
if I could afford to buy some land I would

>>24565057
Dude you're literally wrong, the reason tiny homes are built on trailers is because most state laws require the house to be a certain size before it can be considered "permanent" and have an actual foundation. It's retarded but it's true.
That being said, I could do a tiny home for a little while, but if I ever get married and have a family I'd need a larger space. But as a young person with no real attachments? That'd be pretty great.
