Those portable container homes are an amazing and simple idea for short term living quarters.Who would have known that years ago when containers were for nothing more than overseas cargo. I live near a man who made MILLIONS manufacturing container homes for New Orleans during Katrina. They can be individually stacked in bulk numbers and shipped anywhere in the world via sea vessel, railway, or by truck and you have instantaneous shelters to live in with heat, AC and full electricity!
I hope things get better for them ....
