I think this is completely a function if multiple things including how much money you can spend on housing, how much stuff you own, your lifestyle (do you entertain, do you have equipment like a bike or kayak, etc), how clean/organized you are, how large you are, are you single, do you have pets, and how well the space is designed. Tiny houses aren't for everybody, but they definitely meet the needs of a group of people. For instance myself, I live alone, have no pets, don't entertain parties, am really organized, and don't own a lot of stuff so a tiny home is completely within my comfort. Not to mention that if I lived in a normal sized apartment then it would look like I'm either in the process of moving in or moving out due to how little stuff I own. Even if the price per square foot increases, I simply don't need the extra space so why pay for it. It's like saying I should get a large pack of eggs for a better deal, even though I only need a small pack because the rest will go bad before I eat them. It just don't make sense in my situation, as well it's the case for many others. Given that, I could not live in many tiny homes advertised on TV/instagram/YouTube, they're simply inefficient in terms of lifestyle. They've turned it into a competition for who can live in the smallest place possible which is plain stupid and you end up with a bunch of idiots designs that require you to somehow pack up your bed every day, or have no kitchen countertop, or no table. These aren't what I would consider normal tiny homes, they're on the extreme end of the spectrum. You don't need to give up a normal lifestyle to have a "tiny home", only the people that want to "show off" do. These are the same type of people as those hipsters that carry around a typewriter to "show off" how hipster they are.
