Good find. This simple and simply brilliant housing solution containercity.com gives new meaning to "they sweat, we think" as containers made in emerging asia are used in homeland america -
- very pretty, comes in all colours - sturdier than wood frame - difficult to burn - imported - can be re-exported - easy to arbitrage across borders - can be grown / shrunk per family requirements - cheap enough to skip large mortgages, credit card debt will do - easier to move house - easier to repossess - can be colour coded to indicate useage / owners - can be digital coded and gps tracked, on-line licensed and auto-pay taxed (flick of digital switch shuts utilities at will) - good for crowd control, when equiped with on-line enabled doors and windows - if further enabled by automated computer retrieval and transport system via a racked configuration, can be linked with the public security regime (suspects are trapped while they sleep, home retrieved, transported, spray painted colour black, and sent to prison yard) - more standard, and certainly modular, and so much easier to index, securitize, and speculate on via on-line ameritrade - fits in with the platform company concept
