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.

I want to own something and I want an actual garden to grow things in.

Not sure what you're going to grow there. On the other hand, I love prickly pear margaritas....

Enclosed greenhouses do wonders. A tiny house with a solarium is my dream.

And your own well, and your own aquifer?

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.

Sounds like a duplex would be perfect then

[–] alcoholicorn@lemmy.ml -1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You can do that with a community garden

[–] NegativeInf@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

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 lived in a duplex for 5 years and the neighbors were so stupid they made me move out.

[–] BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

i swear in my apartment the upstairs neighbors would move their dining room table every day. and then play bowling

[–] EgoNo4@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Sounds annoying... I'm talking about death threats in my case...

[–] Beldarofremulak@lemmy.world -4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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.
