The tiny home sums it all up when it comes to the American love of the single-family home. A literally diminished reality matches up to an ever-diminishing dream of the all-American style of homeownership.<\/p>\n

\n

The phenomenon has its roots in the early 2000s, when many millennials<\/a> rebelled against the mcmansion-leaning norms<\/a> of late 20th century culture. The millennial aesthetic is famously minimalist, and the tiny home was minimalism writ large\u2014meaning very, very small.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But over the last few years, tiny homes have morphed from a millennial lifestyle trend or life hack into a potential solution to the housing crisis. As an affordability crisis grips the nation and homelessness surges, tiny-home communities have sprouted from Wisconsin<\/a> to Austin<\/a>. In California, grappling with one of the worst housing crises<\/a> in the nation Gov. Gavin Newsom promised<\/a> last year to deliver 1,200 tiny homes as interim housing in Los Angeles, San Diego, San Jose, and Sacramento.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, it seems that tiny homes are an imperfect solution to high housing costs and rising homelessness. So why, then, do politicians, nonprofits and even do-gooder corporations<\/a> love tiny homes so much? It has something to do with Americans\u2019 persistent addiction: an obsession with single-family homes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

When it comes to housing, America is different<\/strong><\/h2>\n

America does housing differently from most other places\u2014and nothing shows that quite like the 21st century phenomenon of the tiny home<\/a>. The caricature of a 1950s-style suburban house, in miniature, speaks to something in the American identity that equates being a homeowner with having your own space that\u2019s separating you from others.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn other countries,\u201d University of Georgia professor Sonia Hirt told Fortune<\/em>, \u201cwhere people are not so interested in actually living with their own private lot, their homeownership rates, for example, are much higher than ours.\u201d As dean of Georgia\u2019s college of environmental design, Hirt has long studied America\u2019s fascination with detached single-family homes. In other countries, she points out, the term \u201csingle-family home\u201d doesn\u2019t exist and the word \u201cfamily\u201d isn\u2019t used in building regulations.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s interesting, culturally, that we will be willing to have a smaller home but not necessarily a smaller yard,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

According to Kate Wagner, the architecture critic who documented America\u2019s \u201cMcMansion Hell\u201d in her blog<\/a> of the same name, the single-family house was a \u201cmiddle-class, professional-class, 19th century kind of invention\u201d that was essentially perfected in the United States. In the America of 100-plus years ago, corporations \u201ccould just basically make a house that [was] mass-produced, easily distributable, affordable to generally middle-class people.\u201d When the American economy achieved liftoff in the 1920s and surged upward in the postwar baby-boom period, the emergence of the largest middle class in world history went hand-in-hand with the flowering of the single-family home lifestyle. \u201cThat was a huge shift,\u201d Wagner told Fortune<\/em>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Even now, 75 years later, there are few signs that the national addiction to single-family homes is abating. Last November\u2019s mini-boom in residential construction was largely of the single-family variety. As Lisa Sturtevant, chief economist at multiple listing service Bright MLS, pointed out<\/a> at the time, single-family starts were up more than 40% compared to a year earlier, but multifamily starts fell almost 34%. And as of a few years ago, 75% of residential land across the country was zoned for detached single-family homes, meaning it was illegal to build anything else in those areas, according to<\/a> a New York Times <\/em>analysis.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Before the pandemic, America was already facing a shortage of housing, especially affordable housing, in key parts of the country, including the biggest cities with the most lucrative jobs. Since the pandemic-fueled housing boom, with both home prices and rents up substantially and mortgage rates at the highest level in decades the single-family home has become much less accessible<\/a>. Now, it\u2019s a coveted asset that\u2019s inextricably linked with wealth in American society. Some millennials rebelled against it, in the form of tiny homes, and for them, tiny homes were affordable in comparison to the houses their parents owned. Tiny homes helped millennials save money and travel without being tied down. While the tiny home can be traced back to 1970s tiny living and nomadism culture, Wagner said, \u201cit is such a 2010s invention\u2026a post-recession invention.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThis was an era of cultural minimalism, where you saw minimalism in everything,\u201d she said. This \u201cpost-recession aestheticism,\u201d in Wagner\u2019s thinking, was fueled by a cultural shift among the upper-middle class, as a reevaluation of necessities, or materialism itself. Tiny homes became a form of showing how little you need\u2014a direct rebuke to the era of McMansions, Wagner explained.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Either way, tiny homes\u2014though much smaller than the standard kind\u2014aren\u2019t necessarily that much cheaper. Whether it\u2019s a tiny home or a McMansion, there are costs associated with a new housing development, Jeff Kruth, an assistant professor of architecture and urban design at Miami University, said. You\u2019ll save on construction costs, but you\u2019re still buying land, \u201cso in terms of actual square-foot costs, you\u2019re not actually looking at a huge difference between a tiny house and something that\u2019s even slightly more modest,\u201d he said, than the typical home.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Small in size, less so in cost<\/h2>\n

In some ways, tiny homes and tiny home communities are simply a rebranding of mobile homes and trailer parks\u2014the only real difference is the cultural association of class, Kruth said. While the tiny home movement is a rebuke to the early-2000s trend of inflating home sizes, it still expresses the \u201cstandalone house as the ideal,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Tiny homes also play into American homeownership aspirations, including a desire for privacy, said Brian Miller, a professor of sociology at Wheaton College. \u201cOn the other hand, it\u2019s very different from the typical progression over the last few decades where American homes just keep getting bigger and bigger,\u201d Miller said, later adding that, \u201ctiny houses are sometimes an explicit rejection of that.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

But they\u2019re not necessarily for lower-income families\u2014really they\u2019re for people who can afford this type of lifestyle, one that allows you to do so temporarily while maybe even paying for a storage unit for your material possessions, Miller suggested. And yet, somehow tiny homes have entered into a new era\u2014now posed as an (imperfect) solution to the housing crisis<\/a>, which has manifested itself in unaffordable housing costs and a growing homeless population. Tiny homes are an individualized solution, Wagner stressed. \u201cThe reality is, we just need to build housing,\u201d she said. But the push for tiny homes as an answer to the housing crisis is a perverse outgrowth of the inequality baked into the American economy.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat makes these people lesser than you? Would you live in a tiny house if you didn\u2019t want to? I wouldn\u2019t,\u201d she said. \u201cWhat about homeless people makes them eligible to be kind of the subjects of architectural experimentation?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Still, tiny homes can be useful, said Donald Whitehead Jr., the executive director of the National Coalition for the Homeless. They provide shelter and safety, even though sometimes they don\u2019t even have a bathroom. It\u2019s an \u201cimperfect\u201d solution, he said, but added, \u201cwe have such a tremendous depth deficiency when it comes to affordable housing that we have to exercise every option, even if it\u2019s not the best.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, what it says in his view, is we\u2019re a society that doesn\u2019t see housing as a right, but a commodity. The bigger the house, the better you are\u2014that\u2019s why tiny homes have become an option. \u201cPeople don\u2019t value the lives that are in those tiny homes,\u201d Whitehead said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
