Why haven't you escaped the Jewish housing/rent scams and moved into a storage container, /pol/?

It costs this guy only 45 dollars a week to live comfortably in his shipping container that has internet access, electricity, a shower, and everything you would want from a small apartment. You would only have to do 6 dollars of work each day, that's less than one hour of minimum wage employment.

Actually, it was £40, which equates to around $65.

Shipping containers can only maintain heavy loads on the four top corners of the container. Any lateral stress or heavy force on the walls and ceiling will crush them.

They must be reinforced and checked for safety before used for habitation. Don't just think you can buy one, slap some sheet rock on the inside, run some wiring and have a $5,000 home.

You could get an 80's or maybe even 90's doublewide trailer for 5k or so. The problem is where do you park it. Trailer lots rent for a couple hundred a month at least, or you have to buy land in the country, and then you have to pay to get a septic tank, water, etc.

That pic can't be real can it?

A lot of shipping containers are used to ship hazardous chemicals and the like, to actually convert one you would probably have to do some pretty expensive cleaning.

This one of the good things about the U.S in comparison to European countries. Everything is so fucking tiny over there, barely any free room.

Oh, yeah, I've seen this. Vacation home in some woodsy area. Right on a lake. Owners said it was a bitch to keep the temperature, but easy as hell to clean. Pick up the furniture and hose it down.

The only reason I can see not to do this is 1) it's fucking small and 2) good luck bringing a woman back to that thing, not to mention any friends.

Oh man, fuck big government.

If a man chooses to live in a shipping container, that is his business and his alone. It is ridiculous how we live in a society where a man cannot even choose where to live when he's doing nothing to harm the common good.

>>
>>6079402

In the US, if you live in "portable housing", like a tent or trailer, construction laws don't apply, nor for that matter do zoning laws.

Furthermore, "unincorporated land" outside of cities don't have as much red tape as plain old county land, and depending on the county there may be no zoning regulations at all.

i can assure you it is quite real.

however they are quite expensive, most of A-Cero's houses cost several tens of millions to build.

Sure you can build a house for cheap.

The land, however, will cost you at least one testicle and half your liver.

Yup, you are dumb. I bought a new build in the 90s for less than 40k. That included land, planning all the other bullshit. Construction costs are next to fuck all. Delusional faggots like you might believe construction companies pay the same costs per home as you, but that is because you are morons.

You're really coming up with the silliest arguments against container housing.

Where do you get your information from? I just showed you a link to average land prices, so you can't argue that shit. So now you want to argue that it costs a million dollars for a construction company to build four walls an a roof.

The construction costs very little. It would cost you a lot, because you would have to hire all the people, buy the plans, and so on. Big building companies throw up standard designs in a couple of weeks.

i believe it would work as a faraday cage or whatever they're called anyway, not to mention being insulated on the inside and not just walking around on the fucking metal outside.

if i win the lotto, i'd build a condo park out of a stack of shipping containers. 20 single container units on 2 floors, 10 double container units on top 2 floors. everything furnished with built in crap. cheap as fuck to buy your place, super low community monthly fees for exterior paint/repairs.

cheap good homes for young single people who don't want to rent, sell your condo after 5 years to the next gen of young single person.

make the place nice with an ikealy efficient layout and stuff, all you move in is your linens for the built in twin sized bed, clothes, computer to put on the built in desk, tv to mount on the built in wall, and whatever you want to put on your built in bookshelves bookshelves.

No, regulations cause more costs than building costs. Most of the cost of a house is the land. The land costs a lot because of regulations. Therefore regulations cause most of the costs of the house.

it does not cost more to follow regulations than it does to build.

Depends on Where you live. In Cali they have so many regulations and paperwork if you so much as overlook a single detail including paying overpaid government inspectors to examine your work it can cost an arm and a leg. And if you try to avoid those costs it becomes the perfect excuse for the government to harass you because you've broken the law.

Land costs are similar. They are based on farming yield, genius. I already linked the average price is 8k /acre. So some will cost less than that.
>>

I am with you. Not only restricting supply, but governments want to get their greedy hands in with licenses taxes regulations inspections (the list of stupidity goes on forever).

they don't sell cause no one's building an apartment complex in the middle of a cornfield, and cause they're busy growing corn which brings in constant revenue instead of one time sale of land.

Guys, what if I were to hypothetically buy 25 shipping containers such as this, stack them in five rows of 5, renovate them, and rent them out, would that be feasible?

I could seal the opening and install doors, install balconies, and use [those lifter things they use at costco] to help them move their furniture.

Is that feasable? I don't have the money to do something like this, of course, and taking out a loan would defeat the purpose.

it'd get ruled as an apartment, whatever ruling that is, and you'd pay higher property tax typically.

Those rents are somewhat reasonable then. Try your hand here in serfland America where you would have to work at least 2 minimum wage jobs to live anywhere.

They should adjust minimum wage in line with inflation and productivity, or just get rid of it entirely.
