These are tiny homes in Texas. Young people love them. Parking has become an issue though

I guess the latter points to LLMs...
Did some sleuthing, came up with these:

Who stole the pic from the last article and put a truck in it while also messing up the house numbers?
Well spotted, but this kinda scene wouldn't suprise me.
If they used AI to jam the truck in it probably mangled the house numbers at the same time.
The pickup? Why, that's a Ford F350 H3X Powerstroke, heavy on the stroke!
Ford F250/F350 body (illegible fender badge). H3 of Hummer + X of Toyota PRO-4X = H3X (Ford FX4 package also has a red X though). Illegible "Powerstroke" on door (their diesel brand name, gas does not get a badge).
"Yeah, AI knows everything. It definitely knows precisely how big a Ferd Fiftyhundred would look at these houses". Good catch. Anything but the metric system.
It’s Elm Cove, San Antonio, TX (Google Maps)
Holy shit wtf they live in actual hell
Interestingly it looks like there is still something weird with the OP's picture though. The house numbers for one, and the crosswalk looks different. Could be differences from construction to now but it seems a bit odd.
You watch this surreal movie and realize it's inspired by actual, real, American suburban neighborhoods.
BTW this is not a commercialised response to tiny houses being hip, this is a response to the housing crisis. Or maybe the two are connected. Anyhow I see tiny houses as a DIY movement, and something that enables you to live on the other side of urban boundaries, and this here is obviously neither.
Dammit, I didn't see your links and found them myself and was coming back to post them. But I have this at least: https://archive.ph/eLAIK
So yep, this is someone "having fun" with the idea either to be funny or to make some sort of point.
