Could shipping containers be used for shelter? With all the thousands of unused shipping containers just sitting there, why could they not be converted for shelter for the homeless.

Or is this just too simple of a problem to be addressed? Simple meaning simplistic.

Would a home built using shipping containers be considered a mobile home? Using either one or more steel shipping containers (40x8x8.5) I'm considering building several houses to rent and/or sell. I'm aware that mobile homes do not appreciate and bankers treat them differently when financing. I am only interested in building houses that appreciate and can be financed just like a modular home (not a mobile home). I would pour a concrete pad with a pressure treated sill and use hurricane tie-downs, install a well and septic, all on a single family lot. Sometimes I would use just one container, sometimes 4 or 5 all connected together. All interior aspects would be built before being delivered to the site. Any clarification on how not to be a mobile home would be appreciated. Many thanks!

Should we allow shipping containers to enter USA? I just saw a show on tv and it said we have millions of shipping containers coming in with no inspection. Is this safe and shouldn't we stop it and cancel the trade agreements and just start making stuff here again? Seems safer to me and would create jobs too. Heck most of the foreign companies have factories here now, and we can build more plus what about central America, we have the capability so no the economy won't collapse, it will boom with plenty of business going around because of all the construction and better paying factory jobs rather than these low paying service jobs, plus if you know anything about manufacturing you know it creates 16 jobs in support of each manufacturing job, besides do you want everything from China. Not me their commies and we are just building up their military when we buy their stuff its all government owned there and don't say it isn't because it is.This solves many problems and stimulates the economy and adds balance to the economic structure which is what is missing since all the manufacturing moved out.It wouldn't happen over night, it should be phased in, anyways why buy foreign products they hate us so piss on them.

Frozen food shipping containers and packaging? My parents have a concession business and have many fine things to eat.
