I wonder how many people stick with tiny/micro houses after the novelty wears off and they find that being restricted to a couple hundred or less sq ft really does suck.
Not if you do not have any choice.

I take up to 2-month trips in my 25'x8' motorhome, and it is OK. Living full-time in one is another matter. Just 2 person, no pets, and it is cramped.
A house like that in the upper Midwest/Northern small town America would be 20 to 50 thousand dollars. I have seen beautiful homes go for hardly nothing in small towns.
Actually this shows how far housing has come since before WWII. Levittown houses were about 1000 sq ft which was the average sized house built in 1950.
Submarine duty is usually 3 to 6 months and hot bunking. But there is no rent and the food is good.
In 2011 DW and I spent about 7 months in a pop-up camper, less than 100 sq ft. If we got claustrophobic, we just stepped out of the door and sat in a chair under the awning and stared off into whatever wonderful natural area we were camping in at the time. Mountains, giant trees, amazing pristine landscapes. DW still talks fondly of it. I can see us spending our 'golden years' in someplace like that, not necessarily in the U.S.
I did follow your blog. But near the end, your writing dropped off, then you ended up in Mexico.
It's OK. Not many bloggers keep it up for long. Also not too many can live forever in an RV, even if it's a 5-th wheel or a class A. Many bloggers I read suddenly stopped, sold their RV and settled back down in a home. And they signed off their blog for good.
