PKM, you in on this trend yet?

There's a difference in using this as an investment vehicle and actually desiring to live in one of these shoe boxes. I could do it, if single and kidless... for a little while.. and if I had awesome outdoors.. be it metro or nature.
 
Saw this micro a few months back... Admittedly, I would love to have it as a permanent big city residence.

^Cool if in a great city and live alone... and can't afford a party pad with lots of hoes doe.
 
Here's another interesting one.. at 144 sq ft... Apparently the couple is quite well off but they deliberately chose to live this way.. It's not for everyone obviously, but it does question what is important in life.

Is it having a large house? Is it having as many TVs as possible?

Or is it more about the conversation we have, the time we spend with each other, enjoying the outdoors, time for reflections, etc..

Per square feet INCREDIBLY expensive to build. Kitchen, bathroom, and solar panels.. in 250sq/ft, ouch. Expanding to more room that is just floor and ceiling costs.. VERY efficient dollars. Most people find a little bigger and very cheap too irresistible to pass on. You would better off making this condominiums and share wall/roof costs with other units.. have a co-op solar program rather individually owned and maintained..

have you heard of any of these being built out of shipping containers? donno how that changes production costs, but everywhere i see recommends it

For me what's important is having enough room for my poker tables, my fermentation chambers, my keggorator and my brewing equipment, as well as a back yard well suited to making beer.

I don't get any of that in a micro apt.
 
^Yeah.. was kind of thinking the same thing. It's like what's most important to some of these people is to live as simple as possible and look down their noses at people that don't. ********
