Smaller houses or apartments are actually great. Not like shed sized but 500-1000 sqft units are great for singles or couples on a budget. I've met a lot of retirees that downsize as well.

I want a tiny house because I don't have the time, energy or interest to care for a big house. Give me an adequately sized indoor space and a big garden

A lack of land is their defining trait, yes.

I have a small house on about 1/2 acre. It is in more of a small town though.

As a European, i have no idea how large this is. Could be a football field, could be a dog shed

I hate that my country uses a mix of metric and imperial units but sqft is the most common unit for area of housing or rooms. Its about 45-90 square meters, which is something you could have easily converted online or with a calculator.

Europeans are internet challenged.

edit: how can you dowvote this? This european is obviously challenged. He or she is a fucking idiot.

also mathematics. it's kind of funny how easy the units are to convert between, but they refuse because hamburgers are soooo hard.

It really depends what you want to do. I like having a workshop / maker space and a home office. You need space for that kind of thing.
