Comment on The Typical First-Time Homebuyer Is Now 40 Years Old, a Record High
the_q@lemmy.zip 3 days agoOh yeah you’re well versed in the rules and regs. It’s insane to me the push back tiny living gets from established systems, but it does attempt to fly in the face of the American way and capitalism.

You can buy a Tuff Shed for $20k with foundation installment, insulate it yourself, all for less than $27k. Toss in electrical, and water; you’re looking at around $40k. Permits and such will probably add another $10-$15k. Overall, you’re looking at $80k for a tiny home in a major city versus homes that go for more than $600k. Rurally in my county, I’ve seen homes go for $300k, so you’re still saving a fuckton of money.
Tiny living absolutely goes against capitalism and our need to consume more than what we can handle to be further in debt by those who control the means.
