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

I think that might be the most American photographer ever taken.
What is the point in building teeny tiny homes if they're going to be placed six feet apart and have no private space. The whole point of a small compact house is it leaves space over for communal stuff. This feels like an American visited Europe and completely failed grasp the point.
What? The whole point is saving money, and smaller land is cheaper...
You know, we could make them even cheaper by cramming them so close they share walls and then stacking them on top of each other. And because they're all together, we can call them apartments.
Now there's an idea!
If that is so, what is the point of all that unusable wasted space around thise buildings, other than law requiring it for some randomreasons?
Without that, those buildings could either have high quality outside space that could be used for gardening or a terrace or the area could be reduced.
The point is for the developer to capitalize on the hype and fomo. Yes, most likely just enough space to meet property setbacks and utility easement requirements.
They squeeze the most "houses" in the lot as they can.
If they are in Texas then it's 43C outside and 95% humidity, so you don't go outside for anything if you don't have to.
Also these are just apartments that are actually apart. So, basically just really inefficient apartments.
Gardening? Do you know the concept?
You know full well the only garden allowed by any HOA here is a lawn.
