You do realize that the "pods" the steady state society fetishists imagen for the prols are micro apartments stacked 500 high and not over price yuppy travel trailers, right?
>mobile home >usually immobilized
I mean, I suppose if you own land half-way up a mountain and can't be arsed to build a proper house on it, it makes a lazy alternative to an off-grid log cabin, but I bet the first strong windstorm blows it right off the mountain.
Kinda want one, ngl
It'd be custom of course. I love the idea of having an off grid, primarily self sufficent, and nearly completely practically minded home.
If you live in any desirable place the cost of the land is the biggest expense. Building a house on it isn't the issue. I see stupid fricking liberals trying to hawk these things on fb marketplace too often because they put the cart before the ox and then realized it isn't a solution to housing
I have one thats the maximum size they can be in USA, 400 sq-ft by external dimensions, and its a lot different than the cramped little double axle ones that are actually worthy of being called tiny homes. I did mine because the builder makes solid log cabins in both tiny home (park model rv) and modular home plans and they're really good quality for a comparatively low price to many of the other park model rvs. I live on rural Appalachian family property and couldn't get permanent occupancy permit for anything like a modular easily in the spot I wanted to build, so doing a park model let me dodge all the hassle and just run my own utility lines underground tapping off our existing well and septic and power.
if you don't have favorable circumstances like this its not truly a viable long term housing option. its trendy airbnb rental weekend visit shack.
If you want to live in a small space to save money and reduce your enviromental footprint, a small, permanent structure is more cost effective and less hassle.
I live in a 512sqft 4 season cottage on an acre of riverfront with my gf, a dog, 2 cats and 2 kids. It forces us to be outside, there is enough room to have a small private area for each person when we need to be left alone, and it isnt nearly as cramped when the weather is too bad to be PrepHole as some 220sqft trailer.
Added bonus is I dont have to worry about the tire pressure on my home.
I dunno man, I like living in my tiny place because I paid 75k for it and will be debt free and working part time at 40. Its usually hippies living in those things
Live in the pod
Eat the bugs
it allows me to buy land and escape the rent israelite, i'll live in a pod for a few years if that's what it allows that
Good goy. Live in the pod and eat the bugs.
>eat the bugs
Not my problem

English.
Good goy.
What's confusing about that sentence? Just how defective are you?
Grammar.
The grammar is fine tardo.
No
people really come here to argue with people over nothing and for no reason
any time i have looked them up they seem to cost as much or not much less than a real house.
>mobile home

Probably poorly built, poorly insulated and extremely unpleasant

Honest question: what advantage does this have over something like pic-related?
None. You can build your own caravan for cheaper than both options.
>y'like a caravan
That's like 3 times the size of the average caravan.

Meme. They cost more to build than an actual decent-yet-small house.
Novelties and not much more.
Probably better to just get a normal caravan.
good way to buy land, particularly land no one wants to start a homestead, farm, or ranch.
Main problem I see is family to pass your shit on to.

Why would I do that?
