Do you consider tiny houses (on wheels) to be a solution to simple living or a financial blunder- why?

I LOVE the idea of tiny houses. They can have everything you need and nothing you don't. Easy to clean, low maintenance. I love the cozy feel of tiny houses. Long story short - I would love to get some land and put a tiny house on wheels or find a tiny house community - but I have always been on the fence because they can be upwards of 100K for a custom one. I feel like I could find a small bungalow for the same price and while I love the idea of a tiny home on wheels - I don't love the idea of the criticism from family and friends.

I would rather buy a small house or condo than a tiny home. The small house will come with the infrastructure. You don't have to worry about figuring out your own plumbing or electric. It will hold its value and likely appreciate.

I live somewhere there are tornados. I see a tiny house as basically a really nice trailer. During a tornado, I would prefer to be in something with a foundation in the ground.

Also, in a small house or condo you don't have to worry about things like headroom. It just makes more sense. I like having full sized appliances and laundry in the home.

Small houses/condos are also more accessible. There are (for the most part) no weird ladders and rarely do you see spiral staircases.
