I've watched the Tiny House show on the Home and Garden Channel. Personally, I think it's one of those "There's a sucker born every minute" deals that will prove a passing trend. You still have to buy or rent a lot, hook up to utilities, etc. etc.

As others have said...An $87K budget on a used RV does the same thing, but WAY more comfortable and convenient. If you don't ever plan to move it, for a few grand more a double-wide mobile home can give you 1,200 sq ft of luxury by comparison.
