In addition, they’ve been made fully illegal without a slab foundation in many places. In Tennessee, they’re referred to as “ready removeable” buildings, and the state hated so much that poor people were actually finding a way to get housing that they passed a bunch of laws making it so everything had to have a slab foundation, which really fucked trailers and trailer parks for a while, too.
Yeah, they’re not a great solution, but they were a way for poor folks to actually own something. Now they’re so outrageously expensive it’s often cheaper to buy a full sized 2 bed/bath home than it is to live in a shed on a patch of land your buddy owns

That’s absolutely atrocious to hear Tennessee did that. So damn cruel.
I used to love the idea of tiny homes and the potential of financial freedom they promised. But as you say, any way out found is quickly quashed.
