    Last year I found out the wife and I had to move in with her mother. So, I spent a total 12k and built a 10×20 bungalow in her back yard. Took 3 months. One 25 amp inlet powers everything. Fridge, stove, water heater, incinerator toilet...best money and best work I've ever invested, as living in the in laws house would have been a nightmare.

    A good solution for areas were a disaster happened and temporary housing is in need. For cramped cities the micro apartment movement might be a better solution. We had an investor building a bigger housing complex (360 units) with multiple micro apartments - 17, 20 or 23 square meter in size (comes with kitchenette, build in closet, bathroom, table, chairs, bed, seats) free community area, gym, shared work space and they were rented out in no time.

      Yes, RainmakeR_Workshop, that just jakes sense. The British also traditionally separated bathing from excreting. A "bathroom" in Britain means a room with a bathtub, a "toilet" means a room with a toilet. The Japanese take it two steps further, by allowing one to wash outside the already filled tub, then soak that freshly washed body in clean hot water. Step two, the tubs are deep enough to soak, sitting upright, up to the shoulders at least. Some of the modern Japanese prefab "unit baths" do not have the sepatate drain for washing, and may also contain the toilet and bath in the same room, yuck. We can get Japanese style ofuro baths in the US, but here they are super expensive and require a lot of room.

      @@RainMakeR_Workshop I see, so they are only separate if you have an extra one. That's what we call a "half-bath", even though there is no bath. I was doing research on wet rooms-a bathroom where the whole room is waterproof, with a drain on the floor; basically the whole room is a shower. That's how a lot of Japanese bathrooms are set up. Makes it easier to wash, then soak. Also safer for the elderly or disabled because there's nothing to climb over to shower. Most of the hits were in the UK, almost nothing Stateside. I guess wet rooms are a thing there.

    I'd get claustrophobia living in that tiny space. It would be okay for a holiday or short stay but I don't think I'd want to live there long term. It's a great option for elderly people and housing for the unhoused but I think most people would want to live in a bigger place.

    Wonderful places. I grew up in a rather large house, additions made over the years by preceding generations of my family, and now that I'm in the no-longer-young category and have arthritis and some heart trouble that family house would be far too much for me. One of these Japanese tiny homes would be great for me. I think I and many others would be able to live alone for longer times and with less need for assistance. One change I would need is a bed that's at a "regular" Western height because of the difficulty gettting to a standing position from at or near floor level. I'm going to be looking at my studio apartment in a different way.

    Those are pretty nice and I can see the potential uses for Japan. Since you build from the ground up, this could be used as a temp situation while your house is being built. And after, you can use it as guest qauters or as an inlaw suite. And in the US, you can use it as income generaters.
