Tiny Homes and Micro Apartments can be very comfortable if they are built correctly. A 400s2 box built without thought will NOT be comfortable.
There are so many people all over the world doing this and finding solutions.

Not only that but I highly doubt these homes are built to last. They put them up as fast as they can and trim every corner to make an extra buck.

You could buy a well built century old brick house for what they're charging. Some people have an affinity for shiny new stuff, no matter how shoddy it turns out to be.
