I bet in 3 years this things roof and window seals starts to fail and it is just a moldy, leaky pile of shit
no in three years this thing will cost $100000 because some shareholders will realise that this is the only feasible home ownership for the younger generation and mass buy them.
Do NOT fart in there…
Honestly in today’s economy, this is like all the space I need. I have started selling off things that won’t fit in a car in a moments notice because of how unstable the market is I never know how long I’ll be residing somewhere.
For 17k I don’t think this includes enough to be enjoyable but I’m all for prefab homes that are purpose built. If you can throw it on a trailer and move it to some plot of land you buy all you have to pay is utilities. Not a bad deal when the alternative is wageslaving to afford a barely addiquate home if even.
I’m not sure how much demand there will be for a house in that form factor, but it might make sense as a sort of guesthouse or spare bedroom or similar, an easy way to extend a house’s effective space.
Honesty, if you’re going to aim to go serious with prefab houses like this, I’d think that it’d make a ton more sense to make the thing modular. Like, sell a selection of prefab “rooms” and then just have the end user hook 'em up. If you do that, I’d also think that you’d want the exterior to be modular, as it’s something that people are going to care about.
Second. I am absolutely boggled that Walmart is selling this. It’s clearly intended to evoke the iPhone, with the “Apple” name even being on the Walmart site. I’m sure that Apple is not affiliated with this. Apple is litigious as hell about their phone design; at one point, I recall them fighting a case on a design patent that merely covered the rounded corner rectangle.

It’s from a Chinese manufacturer. I can absolutely believe that Chinese companies are making infringing knockoffs of all sorts of stuff in China, flying below the radar. But Walmart offering them in the US seems like it’d be a prelude to litigation.
I think you are either too wealthy or too attached to city living to understand the point of these.
Tiny homes:
-
are affordable to anyone with almost any income, not just $80-100k+ a year incomes (which are practically mandatory now to buy a home in the current economy)
-
Can be set up literally anywhere that zoning allows for
-
A good choice for off-grid/prepper lifestyle
-
A good choice for solo living or for a couple to share with no kids
Apple doesnt own all white rectangles with rounded edges. You can’t sue for that.
Yes, but is it made out of alumunulum?
