I think if done right you can house a lot of people in a small area at minimal cost.
Do single people or a couple really need 2000 sq ft? Would get people out of high rent apartments and maybe give them a little extra cash at the end of the month. I really like the idea if them.

My wife really wants to build one of these at our 10 acre property up in the mountains that we procured right before COVID hit. She is a member of some FB groups or something and regularly sends me “what about this?” pics and what not

      Sheeeit!! I'm with JP! Right next to the pool, with a walkout. Only, for me!!

        They look nice. In pictures. But keep in mind they are very narrow, esp. after putting in insulation and walls. A 1960 mobile home...'trailer' is wider.
        If you put 2 of them side-side, then we might talk. 👍

        Great for what @Eguller would use it for.

          Par4QC That is the way!!

          He used to have a blog up that documented the entire build. It was an excellent read.

            Insofast has a system to insulate the exterior.

              There is one under construction just over the border in NH. I don't think you can build one in some areas in Maine.

              I have seen a lot of these built on various shows on TV. They are indeed very unique but most of them spending a lot more than just buying a nicely equipped camper with slideouts or a mobile home. I think some factory build cabins that are delivered to your site are a better buy as well.

                  That Tin Can Cabin guy stated that he didn't save any money over using the typical stick build method.

                    Amazon sells a tiny house that looks pretty nice. My first home purchase was a 900 sq ft 2 BR home. 1 bathroom.

                    Typhoon Ships itself, can't get better than that. Arrange for others to add things inside and it will pay for itself. Even better.😎
