People love them??!!! WTF! When I was a kid in rural South America we would pitty people who's house was not solid brick and had side walk. "Hay pobrecitos".
That frame of mind as my "shades" that I see the world thru tell me that this is wrong. Micro houses should be for anyone who really truly wants one... For people in the middle of nowhere that need some sleep tonight. For the homeless who lost a job or got an expensive disease. ETC. Not for regular people in the city with good jobs.
