Interesting responses...I think its more a generational thing...those suggesting its not the way to go being over 45 and those more open to it being under (?) I actually think this is the way to go..under 45's are fundamentally more adept to change than those over and as such are happy to look at 'alternative' solutions to what's been the perceived 'norm' these last 40years. Also, as we've moved from a largely paper based era to a digital one with less clutter it would seem to fit better. How many of us with a spare room and/or garage actually use it for anything else other than to hid s*** away that we cant bear to get rid of? Today's generations are less protective about such things as all their mementos are on Facebook or the cloud.

It is all fine and good those decrying his as a backward step. If you have a nice house you may well feel that. But many people - and there are more and more single people of all ages now - would much prefer such a place of their own, that they could afford, to the alternative - which is? There are many different possible solutions to the housing problem and this could be one of the more practical ones. PS: Lyons550 - and I am well over 45 !

I have been banging the tiny house drum for years now. Anything that can break the obscene rental costs we now face has to be a good thing. Minimum wage before tax sits at just over £1000 a month, rent is about £800 a month in Croydon now, factor in living expenses & bills and you pay out more than you earn. Tiny homes and other alternative accommodation is the only way out of this unsustainable mess.

Saw this a couple of months back....definitely another potential solution...though people will also complain that the concrete itself is an issue for some...

Tiny homes and other alternative accommodation is the only way out of this unsustainable mess. Problem is that as a solution its no more than a band aid - Something has to actually be done to regulate both the housing and rental markets (that has been out of control for decades). Throwing more property into the mix, hasn't worked in the past, its acted more as fuel. Because those 'micro abodes' will be like the influx of one bedroomed houses of 2000 (now exorbitantly expensive, just slightly less so).

Problem is not only the amount of housing but the type and price. Most London housing is of little help to the crisis with the huge price tag and false 'affordable' claims some of them come with and in lots of areas around Britain where there's no doubt inept or corrupt local officials there's too many large and expensive houses and not the quota of social or 2/3 bedroom houses that cater for the average size British family. A shambles and profits over needs again the issue.
