Tiny homes is a good idea.
But people buy prefabs rather than build their own.
Tiny homes are not a good idea. They're an inefficient use of materials, and a poor use of land. If everyone lived in a tiny home the infrastructure to support them would be too widely spread.
If you want to live in a small house, live in a well built apartment or town house.
Tiny houses are way more efficient than single family homes. They just aren't better than triplexs, townhouses or apartment blocks.
I think he means that, a lot of small houses together would lead to infrastructure problems, while an apartment complex was designed for that
Lots of tiny houses aren't an issue. They used to be called "trailer parks," but have trendier names now like "tiny house village."
Hookups are simple and direct, with water/sewer/power at each assigned lot. Water in hose, sewer out hose, 30A or 50A "shore power" plug. You can easily fit 3- 5 tiny houses in the same footprint as 1 SFH, so you get a similar density to a triplex or small apartment building.
Building 5 independent tiny houses is more expensive than a 5 unit apartment complex, but that is only relevant if its goverment financed housing. If it's zoning laws letting people build more efficient homes, tiny houses have a real place in that roadmap.
