A neighborhood of BarryVilles
Imagine thousands of them stuffed together, sweltering in the hot sun as the wretched inhabitants struggle to pay taxes, Obamacare rates, and sky high utility rates fluffed up by Climate Change penalties.
Heaven on Earth, right?
Socialism in a box.

They are more commonly seen being transported on ships and at ports around the world. But with the addition of flatscreen TVs, en-suite bathrooms and air conditioning, these shipping containers are now being billed as a solution to London’s housing crisis. The containers come from China and are transformed into studio apartments in Britain which can be stacked on top of each other - and are available to rent for only £75 a week.

Not a bad idea, really. I have worked on plans to build a house using the various sizes of these (especially the big boys).

I wonder how many FEMA has? Instant concentration camps. Just add economic collapse.

Everyone realizes that picture is of two different homes, right? One on top, one on the bottom. Way to small.

There are quite a number of articles on prepper sites regarding us of shipping containers for cheap housing at one’s bug-out location.

I shipped all my worldly goods to Northern Ireland in a 40 footer in 1979...Guess if I had shipped 6 or 7 of them I could have had a home...(I bought a 2000 sq ft home there, that I lived in for 3 years)...the 7 containers would have cost me somewhat less, and I could have been the talk of the town... :)
