Just for reference for those in the US, the "tiny house" in the article would be a small but fairly standard sized apartment in Paris. I think the US just such a warped view on house sizes compared to much of the rest of the world.
- ch4s3 4y agoAt 22 square meters, it looks like it's on the small side for Paris, based on some Googling, and smaller than my studio in NYC.

Also I want to add that in a city like Paris, you have access to high quality public facilities like open acceas library study room, squares and parks with comfortable chairs so that you don't need to stay home for much more than fix a quick meal and sleep. That said, it is a precarious lifestyle and not something people do by choice.
- Gigachad 4y agoFrom what I have seen, the "tiny house" trend typically is located in the middle of nowhere though where there is plenty of space to build a much bigger one. A small apartment is pretty good and workable when it's in a city where you can make use of external facilities. I just don't see the point when you have space for 50 houses on the land but you build this one shipping container sized one right in the middle.
