Somewhat related: the Boxabl people told me this week that their preorder waitlist is 170,000 people deep.
(Boxabls are more expensive and have plumbing and expect to be hooked up to grid power and other utilities.)
I think cheap, tiny dwellings are going to be a huge market. Not sure if something without a toilet qualifies, however.

- upon_drumhead 3y agoThey list that number on their website https://invest.boxabl.com/ https://invest.boxabl.com/ > 170,000+ people have indicated interest by reserving a Casita on our website, representing over $10bn in potential revenue if they each purchased a Casita. Reservations do not require purchase of a Casita and there is no assurance of how many will result in actual purchases. That’s gotta be hugely inflated. If they required any sort of down payment, then I’d believe the number is close, but this one required nothing. https://www.boxabl.com/order/ https://www.boxabl.com/order/
