    The fun size part doesn’t really bother me. For someone like me with no intention of having a family, 969 sq ft seems fine, maybe even more than I’d ever need. The price could be (a lot) better, and I definitely wouldn’t want to live in Arizona, but if I did I’d want to be closer to the city than this Florence appears to be.

        Temperature wise it is different— from Oct - April it is amazing

        When I was in 4th grade , I couldn’t understand why the passengers on Titanic died in the water. In Phx it was always so warm.

        From May - September you are living on the surface of the Sun.

        As a cyclist, is get up at 4 so I could do 50 miles and be home by 9 before it hit 100. You don’t go out unless it is to get in the pool. Unless you really must.

        It would take a 300000 /yr for me to consider living there again

        —moved away at 20. Don’t ever want to go back

        I live here. The fuck does everybody want to move here for? Public transit sucks, traffic congestion abound, school system is dogshit, you have the elderly that can’t drive but still do and are usually horribly bigoted and racist at the W and E ends of the valley, like they are doing a flanking maneuver. We’ve been in a drought for decades, the power system is only ‘fine’ even though we have a fucking nuclear plant outside phoenix, plus solar and hydro. We have rich cunts in the east valley and the west is deteriorating even with the constant population and building expansion.

        I like it here because I was born here, everything I know is here. But objectively, anybody wanting to move here is both insane and braindead. It’s fucking baffling.

        It is a bad place to live. The GOP destroyed the bus system, delayed the light rail, starved the schools, poisoned the police departments, and just generally fucked up as much shit as they could before they got voted out.

        On top of that you have the climate and two of the deadliest highway stretches in America. (One gets sandstorms, the other gets blizzards and features cliffs)

        And the local politics is so crappy they managed to push an NHL team out of the market.

      Yeah I don’t understand the point of this post.

      “We need to build more affordable housing”

      Builds affordable housing

      “Lol look how small it is Americans are so dumb.”

      The real issue here is the waste of space. Since they’re already small why have them be individual houses? This would wait more sense as a series of duplexes or something. Small apartment buildings. Hell condos like they say.

        Yeah boo tiny homes with yards. That should be high density housing with a shared garden space governed by a board of residents.

          Americans tend to not be good neighbors, especially when you have a shared wall.

          Combine that with nonexistent nuisance enforcement and I’d rather waste living space on dirt than have to deal with an average American lmao.

          Although I do agree with your point, I’m just making light of the fact that an empire is collapsing in real time and this is yet another sign.

            I’ve shared a wall most of my adult life and it’s literally never been an issue. Most people are fine, and if you make even the smallest neighborly effort they will reciprocate. Not sure why .ml is so obsessed with shitting on Americans all the time.

            Sure, just as soon as those kinds of things exist, I’ll be sure to jump right on it. Personally? I’d rather live in the woods and a tiny fucking house.

                I’m not sure why you insist on it being in Arizona. I know that’s where this specific set of tiny houses are, but guess what? If they are building a tiny house development area, I’m pretty sure it’s hooked up to fucking water.

                And I’m also in a place where we already HAVE a lot of people with their own wells.
