I used to be intrigued by tiny homes. They're enough room for one or two people, but not a place I'd try to raise a kid.
I recently went from a 3k sq ft US home to a 1100sq ft apartment and this apartment feels big. The difference mostly centers around how much furniture and other home maintenance materials I used to have.
It also helps that we moved to a European city so we don't have a car and related support equipment.
Looking at a 350 sq ft tiny home, if it was just down to myself and a partner, we could do it. The whole goal would be to not spent huge amounts of time at home, but to go to 3rd places and hobbies away from home. Rural or suburban living makes that harder than where we're at now, but it's doable.
