Gonna need a lot of firewood. Those puppies get pretty cold in the winter.

Old Railroad box cars were used as chicken houses. Read it in a letter circa 1890.

About 25 million of these 20-by-40 feet multicolored boxes move through U.S.

More like 7.5 by 40.

20 by 40? Bigger than Manhattan studios, that's for sure.

Wonder what a duplex will go for...

20 feet wide? I don't think so.

Frankly, the only way I would live in Detroit is in a shipping container house. While I am there, they are pretty fireproof and are more damage proof than wood houses. But most importantly, they are shipping containers. Which means that at the first opportunity, I can get the heck out of Detroit and take everything with me. Who would want to get stuck buying an unsellable, unmoveable house in Detroit?

Lease some land, put a container house on it, and when you are done, put Detroit in the rear view mirror and don't look back.

I don’t see any advantage to these things
other than that they are stackable.

Native villages (such as Bethel) in west Alaska have been using shipping containers as living quarters for years.

I remember quite well a shipping container living quarter area of town behind the home I lived in with 30gal plastic garbage cans filled with potable water and 5 gal "honey" buckets, both located inside so they would not freeze and both serviced by city trucks once or twice a week.

Bootleggers and drunks for the most part.
