A new development of “tiny homes” in Texas is raising eyebrows — each one priced at $130,000 with an additional $100 monthly HOA fee.
Despite being marketed toward families, the units are extremely small, basically functioning as two-story sheds with minimal living space.
Many are calling this the perfect example of housing shrinkflation, where buyers get dramatically less square footage and quality while prices remain sky-high.
It’s sparking debate about whether this is genuine progress or just a diminished version of the American Dream.
