WOW!!!

My thoughts are:

1. Who has that kind of time on their hands?

2. Who has that kind of extra $$$$ on their hands?

3. Can I be adopted by them?

Did you happen to look at what they do with shipping containers? Who knew?

I've always said that shipping containers were the way to affordable housing for the homeless in many cities. Verified proof now.

Unfortunately I've lived in them for a few months at a time. I shouldn't really say "unfortunately". They are significantly better than the alternatives and we were fortunate to be able to use them. They're quiet and retain heat/cold fairly well. The US Military purchased many of them for housing troops and office space overseas. They are portable as well. I've actually spent time in the same building in two different countries.

The government is also looking into purchasing them for FEMA for the next Hurricane Katrina type event.
