From what I understand they are still affordable, the cost savings is building it yourself and having the discipline and patience to be able to do something like that on your wages.
Building a tiny home is a grueling and arduous task. There is nothing TurnKey about it.
My cousin built one because his mom lent him some land to build it on and so far it has cost him about $10,000.
That’s pretty good but he lives on a truck driver’s salary and he has a wife and a kid. He’s deeply in debt from his tiny house project and he’s almost done with it.
Once he finishes he’ll be able to claw his way back up out of debt, which is good, but there are no TurnKey solutions that are also affordable.
Fortunatly, the cost to construct one has not changed similarly, and there are at least a few projects around the country (US) where land is owned by a charitable organization/person/collective and tiny homes are being as a solution for some people.
I really wish I knew of any in my area, I’m currently unhoused and live in a car, doing gigs for the greedy (waiting on a previous state to send mine my background info… for what is now 2 fucking months, so that I can be approved for working in my field) and living in a safe situation without the risk of others doing something to me, is something I very much want to have for the first time ever in my 30 years. I’m a cross country trans refugee, who’s somehow unknowingly rented from a neonazi, a “friend” who robbed me, another “friend” that just took my (sub)rent money and split without paying the rent, or my childhood with an abusive family… so I have concerns…
And a tiny home at a fair price/rate would likely be affordable for me, but I just haven’t found anything.
My favourite part of Tiny Homes is how they came into vogue and were subsequently priced out of reach of poor people.
There’s a company just made a cool modular house for 10k but we’re not allowed to like it because Elon lives in one
