Every time I see a story about miniature homes in Hong Kong, freight containers, Manhattan, etc. is that I would have to give up almost all of my hobbies if I lived like this. They are really only convenient for people who spend very little time at home.

When you throw a party, you don't do it at your place, you do it at a bar. Minimizing rent means you can spend more on going out. It'll be wildly popular for the unmarried/childless set.

- georgefrick 11y agoNot necessarily; all hobbies simply become social. Gunpla? You go down to a anime store to do it with others. Kayaking? Storage facility the manages the kayaks and can rent personal storage. Robotics? You'd head down to the local Maker shop and rent storage/locker. It's simply becoming "social". I'm not saying I agree or like; just that it doesn't mean giving everything up. But.. There can be benefits to building a robot in a room where you can go on the slack channel and ask for a part... or kayak with someone new similar to going for a round of gold with a new partner.
