I live in Germany where I guess the situation is quite different in that regard from the States. One thing that comes to mind is that shitholes are also usually located in shit areas - the whole neighbourhood situation is there usually rather depressing and less secure. The idea of a tiny house is that you can place it anywhere - at least in theory. And that allows you to choose an especially calm, quiet, peaceful environment. I'd love to live in a tiny house - a shit hole on the other hand does not seem so appealing. Also b/c the additional square meters wouldn't be of much use. A nicer less is for me more than a shittier cheap more.
