A composting toilet would definitely be an adjustment for most people. And I totally agree about college students. I went to the University of Texas last week to hear a lecture on architecture. Normally you'd have to park up to a half mile away and trek in. With my scooter, I parked between a couple of cars (legally) and walked 2 blocks. Smaller is definitely better in some situations especially for college. Stephen, a communal bathroom would be great if a group of these got together.

If you offered a place where people had community bathrooms and showers, then that is much less of a lifestyle change. Then you have changed it to something similar to university style living. Speaking of which, university students would LOVE these things. Room that can be stored for efficiency, don't need to pack unpack every year for summer, your own place, close to campus. I mean everything aligns. Honestly, the poop into a bucket thing is one of the biggest drawbacks I think of as well.

Living in a tiny house isn't for everyone. Years ago, I'd bet many renters wouldn't have agreed to recycle. I remember about 10 years ago or so I had a roommate who tried to compost food scraps and the rest of us thought that was a disgusting practice. There are pros and cons to any living situation.

That's a lifestyle commitment that many renters just will not agree to, no matter how cheap.
