Agree, esp. regards a clarification around 'tiny'.

Personally (controversially?) I've always questioned the idea of a tiny house in the countryside. In dense urban (and otherwise restrictive) environments focusing on size makes some sense. But in a rural setting? Emphasizing 'tiny' over e.g the UN-Habitat's mantra of "fast, affordable and absolutely green" feels like a misinterpretation and unnecessary burden ('fast' might be switched out in this context too). I'm not advocating for sprawling mansions by any means, but certainly a more holistic consideration of space and its effects on mental health.
