Interesting how the emphasis is still on how 'tiny' these homes are. Minimum size would be 387 square feet, which is bigger than what a good chunk of humanity lives in, and about the size of a 1 bedroom apartment in many major cities. They certainly stand out compared to what's found elsewhere in Newfoundland, but hardly what I'd consider tiny.
Question: if your tiny home is permanent, and on a tiny lot, what's the advantage over a townhome/condo/apartment?
For me, personally - acoustic and olfactory privacy, outdoor space, no condo-fees (which make up ~1/4 of my total mortgage payment), windows on all four walls, more freedom to make changes to interior/exterior (no need to consult condo/apartment owners), piece of mind that your neighbor's illegal drug habit, shady friends and hot-plate dinners won't burn down your home
Design/square footage/cost being similar I'd take a stand-alone home over an apartment/condo, though there are big advantages there too (sharing of: heat/insulation, major structural repairs, insurance etc).
