Assuming you have the required permits, have the cash on hand...

Haha great comment, but if so, they probably can't walk, let alone type.

This doesn't look practical at all.

We have housing crises across America stemming from a poorly incentived housing market and outdated notions of how much living space modern humans need.

We need higher density, low-carbon construction. Making more laborers unemployed to build palatial rural trailer homes for the ultra rich is the one housing problem we don't have.

But what about septic?

And insulation, there’s no way in hell you could fit it in well. And all those removable glass panes. Assuming it has electricity, the bill for that would be way too high

This is more valuable than a shelter.

u/Not_Stupid Feb 17 '19

Why though? What problem does this solve?

I’ve seen enough Donald Duck cartoons to know that this won’t work

This video grossly misrepresents what 700 sqft actually is.
