Small is bea
Jonathan Palley shows how small homes can ease America’ s housing crunch
Across the United States, housing costs keep rising while build times and land supply lag demand. Conventional construction alone cannot close the gap. Well-built, code-compliant small residential units- whether on foundations or wheels- are no longer fringe experiments; they are practical tools for adding quality, attainable housing quickly.
Why small works
Small homes are gaining traction not just because they’ re smaller, but because they solve real problems across multiple dimensions of housing need. Today’ s buyers face a stark choice: manufactured housing or tract homes. For many Americans in 2025, neither option meet their lifestyle or values. Tiny Homes afford a third path: highquality homes that trade-off square footage for quality and livability at a more affordable price point.
As digital technology shrinks our physical needs, buyers increasingly question how much‘ stuff’ they need in their day-to-day lives. The bookshelf has given way to the iPad; the media room to the streaming device.
