This isn’t abnormal for mini-homes to sit on. Mini-homes have been around forever, but to me, the mini-home parks are predatory since the lot fees are so high! Ppl can’t afford to save for a larger home on land when every month they pay anywhere from $300-600 just in lot rent! I looked at one that was close to $600 mark since they said you had to pay water and sewage separately when traditionally that would hav ll been part of the lot rent. I decided to run away from parks for this reason. They just keep you down.

I think you're going to be hard pressed finding a lot of people who don't like the idea of "tiny homes". Density can actually be a good thing. Also, people would rather own a "tiny" detached house than rent a tiny apartment. They built "war time" homes back in the day which continue to be perfectly livable. We need to go back to that way of thinking.

Luke, there are many homes in Toronto that were built after WWII and were under 800 sq.ft. with a decent sized lot. I bought one of these in 1995 for a $170,000. It’s been home to me. Many others have raised families in these homes and were considered decent working class neighborhoods. Political policies are the bigger threat.

[@PastelP-b4u]

Small but those are great little houses. night and day to an 800sqft condo. Private yard (and perhaps a shed, garage of basement to escape to) makes a huge difference. I would take one of these 800sqft houses w original lot over a 1200sqft 3 bed condo any day of the week.

[@Thermopylae2007]

I think that many people would be happy with well laid out homes of the post WW2 style, and it's kind sad when I see them torn down to build monstrosities. The challenge is that even a tiny cottage lot around 150km north of Toronto can cost over $200k, so the cost of land is still the limiting factor.

These aren't 'tiny homes'. Until about 20 years ago that size was still very common in Canada (either with an upper floor or a nice finished basement but often not both). Cheaper/easier to buy, heat, maintain, repair and renovate when needed. Way better than sprawling suburbs of McMansions that in 20-40 years will either need to be torn down or 'repurposed' as 'apartments' to be useful.

In Ontario, the smallest 'tiny house' you are allowed to build is 190 square feet in size. So basically 200 sq-ft and up. I'm okay with that as long as the cost of the mortgage and property taxes is less than $2,000 per month which is what a 1-bed room rents for in Southern Ontario. Actually, I could probably add two separate bedrooms to the tiny-house and then rent each one of those rooms out for $1,500/mth each, making the house actually pay for itself.
