When I lived in germany full time, I would’ve loved to live in a tiny home, but germany would’ve rather put me on the street than allow a tiny home lmaoo.
That’s the problem in a lot of the US too. We transitioned from building massive subdivisions of small/cheap homes to smalle subdivisions of larger/more expensive housing. This is due to a mix of zoning that favors single family detached housing, land availability, and consumer tastes.
Homes have drastically grown in size over the past 200 years while the number of people living in them has decreased. Not to mention nicer material, which also contributes to cost. No more “builder grade” cabinets and formica counters these days.
