I wouldn't mind living in a tiny house if I was alone.  But I'm not so I don't see it as possible.  I have a ton of kitchen stuff - baking and cake decorating is my passion.  I would need a couple of tiny houses just to store all my kitchen stuff.

Nope. Not for me.  I need lots of room.

I have seen them and they look cool, but it's not for me. I need my space.

I wouldn't mind if it, was just me and one pet.

I would love to live in a tiny house; however, I would also like a truck and trailer so I can travel.  I could downsize so I don't have too much stuff.  I like it when I have a very simple, low maintenance lifestyle.
Have a great day!

If I lived there alone, I think it would be really cute! I'm almost the opposite of claustrophobic and don't require much space. Provided I wasn't locked in there 24/7 I would have a fine time.

However if I had to live in one of them with another person I would probably strangle them within 12 hours.

If anything happened to my wife, I would go for it in a heartbeat. I hate cleaning house anyway, so this would be a good answer for minimal distractions. If I have my waterbed, a place to eat with a microwave and a good shower, the only other space I would need is a place for my computer (that could even be a laptop) and my TV.

I think that they are adorable.  I always thought that I would like to have one. Then after reading some of these comments I am not so sure anymore.  Its really just a fancy she shed.  But still it would be nice to have just for a place to take a break and get out of the house.

Well some of the ones I have seen have like steps up to a sleeping area, a kitchen area, small living room, and a table.  So you would have what you need.  Like I said if I were just starting out I think that is the way to go.  Not acquiring so much stuff.  Right now I would need about 12 tiny houses. haha

They are giving horrible strong bad storms for my area right now.  I am starting to get warnings.  So I would need to take in to consideration stuff like that when I got a house like this.  I want something sturdy and that at the end of a wind storm I would still be in the same place I started out in.

I don't think I'd live in a tiny house. I live in a studio apartment now and imagine I have more space now than what I would in a small house. I don't where I'd set it up either. That being said, some of the look pretty neat!
Opinion: 1) a view, judgment, or appraisal formed in the mind about a particular matter 2) belief stronger than impression and less strong than positive knowledge
This is the internet, learn to let people have opinions. And don't be so sensitive.  8)

But my question is not where would you put it but WOULD you live in one.  Would that be enough space for you.  Would you want to live in that tiny of a space.  I don't really think I would.  I like having plenty of space.

I never even thought about the weather. I can't imagine tiny houses do very well in severe storms. What about tornados!? I can picture the house flying up and away like in the Wizard of Oz. LoL!

Nope. I have seen them online a lot and they are cute but way too small for me.

I think I would have a problem storing all my stuff! I would feel like I was living in a doll house.  I think I could do it for a while.  It seems like it would make life simpler, but I'm sure it would also have its disadvantages.
