Well yes, it's definitely great as a temporary means of housing, but realistically we all want some breathing room, some privacy, expandability... This is great for cities and Metropolitan areas, but you're not gonna get people elsewhere to prefer this over, say, a foresty cottage with full privacy, solar energy generation, your own crops, maybe even a water source that you can clean up to provide for your water needs.

The problem isn't that kind of house, the problem is the suburban hellscape with perfectly cut lawns that offer little to no biodiversity, little say in house designs, and an infrastructure design that promotes transportation by cars.

If we simply moved away from big cities, worked from home, and aimed for personal regenerative agriculture or at the very least a more simbyotic relationship with our environments, we'd be leagues ahead.
