I didn't realize how restrictive and expensive it was, but $52,000 for a modern 85-square-foot tiny studio [without a bathroom] is probably an awesome deal in that area, although it is smaller than my bedroom.
It doesn't sound awesome to me because it is in Southern California. A failed state.

It also doesn't sound awesome because it twice as expensive as it needs to be. Compare Summit Structures of Oregon. Seismic requirements can't be any worse than the Oregon coast. They quote (for my ZIP area) $20K for a 240sq ft tiny house shell, delivered, with warranty. Add $1K for Ikea cabinets and $4K for appliances and a mini-split heat pump.

Is graduate school in LA or somethin'?
