Since the demise of the local-produced Holden Commodores and Ford Falcons, Australian police departments have been searching for alternatives.

But as we know, it isn't an option to begin with – no thanks, of course, to our lack of land space.  Someone also pointed out that the idea of tiny houses is "romanticised" – which, I don't deny (but hey, that's why it's a dream).
