    I'm assuming he's referring to Hexayurts: http://hexayurt.com/ http://hexayurt.com/

    I think the intended suggestion is: If you are going to build a dwelling, a yurt is one of the most cost-effective structures you could construct. They can be lived in year-round in almost any climate. In some locations they may be regarded as temporary structures, and therefore would not be held to the same building requirements as a standard house. Furthermore, if you decide to move, you can take the yurt with you, since it can be dismantled. Also, the hexayurts linked by the sibling comment are probably not what you should be looking for. They are not designed for wet or cold weather conditions. They are designed as temporary shelters for festivals and such, not as permanent dwellings.

  Seems like the tiny house movement has largely overlooked yurts. Yurts are cheaper than those more traditional stick-construction tiny houses. You can buy a complete yurt with installation for less than people spend attempting to build a typical tiny house themselves, and you end up with more space. Even if you decide to do-it-yourself, a yurt is far easier to build.
