i spend a lot of time looking at alternative housing and i must say that container homes are complete and utter bull shit. its a stupid fad that is fueled by idiots.

containers are expensive. just transporting a container is already a losing proposition because you are transporting a mass of steel in the form of a large empty box. so you lose on getting your materials transported. its more expensive than just buying an equivalent amount of steel and building it into a house.

containers are extraordinarily poorly suited for making houses. if you want any windows at all, you need to heavily modify the container, reinforcing and welding and all together going through enough trouble that you might as well just make the whole thing from scratch. the entire container-home movement is completely retarded -- its like watching solar roadways again. a massive group of people who are totally liberated from critical thought. container homes are stupid. they are a pollutant in the alternative housing scene. stop making them.
