Trailers are part of the road-trip/camping experience for some people.SteamDNT said:Why are you americans even bothering with trailers?
Jesus, when I went down from North Dakota to New York we stayed in hotels the whole time. They ended up being substantially cheaper than any sort of rent we have here in Canada.

Isn't Denver supposed to be the most affordable good city?samjc3 said:It's also worth noting that there's a pretty massive swing in what hotels cost. Down in Dallas/Ft. Worth, you can get a month of hotel room for like $600, without even resorting to a flax hotel. Up here, you can't even do 2 year contract rent on a one bed one bath apartment for $1200/month - and Denver is hardly the most expensive city around, to say the least. Hotel rooms in my area start at around $89 per month. I'm sure you could work out some discount if you were staying longer term, but even still, it adds the *PLAQUE* up.
I don't claim I've ever heard that, but in my experience, it's roughly in the middle. Most affordable place I've been is probably Cuenca (probably doesn't exactly count, but hey), most expensive would be any number of the big bullflax cities, LA, NY, etc. Texas in general is a lot cheaper than here, and Cali and such are a good bit more. So ultimately, I guess it depends on how you define, "good."grossaffe said:Isn't Denver supposed to be the most affordable good city?

Trust me, if I could have found a place like that, I would have been all over it.Holy flax, 1200 sqft, who needs all of that?
I mean, I can understand if it's 200 sqft of house and then 1000sqft of workshop, but like... man, that's huge.
I would say there's a pretty good chance of us never building or living in a tiny house in the sense of one that's built on a trailer. To me, that small is just tiny for the sake of being tiny. Ya, there are teens who have built one for $10k over a couple summers, but the reality is that they generally cost much more than that and it's super difficult to find a place that'll let you legally use one as the primary residence on a property. The tiny house concept isn't bad, it just doesn't work out as nicely as some of the stories you hear and everyone expects to be able to get results similar to those stories.So are you done with the tiny-house thing, then? Or is this a temporary situation?
