Are tiny houses/vanlife a good idea or is it all just cope?

Rebranded trailer. The elites trying to prepare the populace for losing property rights. Here's your box and be happy. Isn't it cute? Watch the hundredth show about how even large families are happy to live with 1 foot space each and totally won't end up with a break up or murder. Why else would there be all this propaganda about it? Same with the minimalist decorating and the endless shows and magazines promoting it. Everything is white, tans, and greys. Your home, the walls, the decorations are all bland. Cheap furniture. Disposable products. Colorless standardization. Never have humans had so many choices, but everything is the same. It's all to demoralize and make it feel more just like a random place you sleep and not like a home you love. People become more comfortable moving because there is nothing personal to the property. Communities fall because there is no emotional tie to the property or the neighborhood. It's all part of the plan.

Yup pretty much agree with you. There was a study 30+ years ago and it stated the more density there is in a neighborhood the increase of crime, particularly violent crime increases. Your life span is cut short as your stress levels go through the roof. All you have to look at some 3rd world countries and you will get your answer.

Here in the US when high density housing hits an neighborhood give it 20+ years and the area turn into a slum. They eventually become rental units, to renters who fucking do not care about anything except the size of the rims on their cars and the days of the week that they get their nails/hair done.

Having lived in a studio apartment I say it sucks but not quite

Maintenance costs are waaaaay lower, you can pretty much keep the place clean yourself. You can have a fancy place for little money since you dont need to buy that much shit (eg: real wood floors or porcelain tile instead of cheapass shitty carpet)

What sucks its the lack of personal space, unless you're living alone and hardly ever getting people over. BTW forget about letting people staying over, its basically impossible

Also you can only store so much, and you cant have shit like a workshop or a game room or any of that. You have to move stuff around all the time just to make room to use some other stuff you have which is why transforming furniture its a thing now. Nearly everything has to be dual-use, I used my LED tv as both monitor and tv

But that was my situation, if you live in a country which cheap shipping, solid logistics, good/decent roads and inexpensive cars (basically anywhere in the western hemisphere including japan and even some parts of china) then theres no reason to living in a tiny apartment/house, specially if you're not in a megacity like the hell where I'm living in now

I swear people having tiny houses in the middle of nowhere are fucking mentally ill. I rather build a full-size pyramid out of sheet metal before a tiny prefab wooden shitcabin like those, at least the pyramid is cool af
