Nice! This whole 'tiny house' trend is really interesting to me.

That fucking shit works if you're an unmarried guy whose only hobby is typing on your thin profile mac laptop. It's the house equivalent of living in a van down by the river. Put a wife and kid in there and see how much good your smug sense of virtue does you.

Build one as a 'mother-in-law house.' It says she's welcome, but is too small for her to want to stay permanently. Could be a win-win.

Comments for this story say that it rates as cruelty to children and say that protective services would step in if Americans tried to have a small house.

Just stick your kid in front of the TV or computer for 10 hrs a day, like they want, and they don't care where they are.

The real problem with a microcabin is micro forest fires.

If I didn't have a wife and kids this is how I would live.

This is more along the lines I would pursue.

Pay attention - you have to build your kids an entertainment center in the basement or above the garage so they can be independent.....to watch TV for 10 hours a day.

The thing is, people everywhere do on occasion choose to live in these tiny dwelling places, but it has nothing to do with not being greedy overconsumers like posters on the Paris apt. thing allege Americans to be. The actual driver is the cost and availability of land. Choosing to live in downtown Paris, NYC, Hong Kong, London, etc. is it's own version of conspicuous consumption. Your average country Frenchman is living in quite a bit more space than the Parisian is- because his land cost him less per square foot. The Japanese have smaller homes than Americans or Europeans, but even they don't make their rural homes as small as Tokyo apartments, and so on.

For example, the median price of a Paris apartment was €8,390 per square meter by the end of 2011. So that 50 Sq. meter apartment would cost €419500, or over $500,000. The median sale price where I live was $155,000, so you're going to have a hard time convincing me that me and my neighbors are greedy people who overbought because of innate gluttony.
