I was expecting something Japanese, space is really at a premium there. I read about a hotel in Japan that's basically just a wall with 3x3x7 foot cubes set into it. Each is a "room", which is really just a bed with a TV on a shelf in the corner.

Regardless, :roll: @ the caption... "Small houses challenge our notions of need as well as minimum-size standards". That's a definite quality of life issue, and the real reason we're draining our planet's resources isn't our standard of living as Americans, it's people in third-world nations having 10, 15, 25 kids.

Over $1,000 per sq foot. Right.

But, but, think of the children.

That actually looks kind of cool.

 

[nonameo]

As long as space is plentiful, there's no need to have a house that small.

Right, because its better for Americans to use 5 times as much as the average person needs, as opposed to 20 people actually getting half of what the average person needs.

Not that they should keep churning out babies faster than nintendo can make Wiis, but when you wonder why the world hates us...

The world hates us primarily because they don't have what we have.
If they could have what we have, they would gladly take it. Most of the world is hypocritical at best.

Actually looks rather cool. My dorm right now is only 180ft^2 for two people.

Need isn't defined by what's required to keep us alive. A cave would fulfill that requirement, but I think you'll agree living in one would suck. Like I said, it's a quality of life issue.

People hate us because of jealosy. George W Bush doesn't help any, either. Our draw on resources would be fine if the world's population weren't so unnecessarily high, provided of course that we look into alternative energy sources as we are doing. I also have to question the numbers people come up with. Last I heard we'd need 3 planets to support 7 billion people living the way 300 million Americans do, but you seem to be saying 5 planets.

My ex and I built a house about that small when we were teenagers. We used the," Little House," primarily as a placed to study. It was nice, good memories.

 

[Demon-Xanth]

And I thought THIS was small...

Yeah that's probably more accurate.

Anyway that little house is pretty cool...I could live there for a little bit, as long as I had a lot of outdoor property, but I think after a while I'd get fed up.

They have those, on wheels.

If you look closely I think there is a license plate on his house.

Having experienced sleeping so close to the roof I bet it gets really really really hot up in there. Otherwise cozy which I appreciate.

$169,900

!!!!

170K for that rabbit shack?!?!

 

[Mardeth]

Hmm realized that it having a license plate and what looks like wheels, its just a different kind of trailer.

And a shower and a sink. Glad I'm not the only one that noticed this. The guy is a damn freak and should get beat with a rubber hose. Two car garages in San Antonio are about 500SF. That's not a house; it's a lawnmower shed. :roll:

 

[harobikes333]

ick. u'd have to pay me to live there

While what youre saying may be all logical, its still ridiculously pompous and elite. And while jealousy is the core of why we're hated, its the jealousy combined with the sense of entitlement that you so magnificently exemplify that really rubs everyone the wrong way.

Uneccesarily high, by who's measure? Ours.
Quality of life, by who's measure? Ours.

I mean just look at what you said:

Our draw on resources would be fine if the world's population weren't so unnecessarily high, provided of course that we look into alternative energy sources as we are doing.

As if we arent part of that world or overpopulation. Theres us, who do it right, and everyone else, who just breed and breed. Thats the kind of talk you hear before a cleansing.

I also have to question the numbers people come up with. Last I heard we'd need 3 planets to support 7 billion people living the way 300 million Americans do, but you seem to be saying 5 planets.

Numbers pulled out of my ass to demonstrate a point that were not meant to be taken literally.

 

[Smartazz]

It would probably be fine as long as you lived alone and didn't have people over too often.
