An entrepreneur from New Mexico has a creative idea for low-cost housing.Albuquerque home builder, Brian McCarthy, and three partners, have built a prototype house out of a standard 320-square-foot shipping container. Each small home would contain a kitchen, a bathroom with a toilet, and a sleeping area.
The partners plan to convert about 3,000 containers into homes, next year, and sell them for about $8,000 apiece.

I do not see the shipping container as a solution.
1. No thermal qualities
2.Cold in winter
3.Hot in summer
4.Transmits sounds
5.Continious increase in steel price
6.Rust
7.High maintanance cost
8. Narrow only 2,300 meters- confined living space
9.Ceiling height to low - 2.400
10.Cost to retrofit
11.Cost to transport
12.Cost to position

that’s very true moladi, it’s just good to have but pretty sure it does cause headache some time when it will start to rust.

Containers can be used in cold too if build properly. Of course you shouldn’t use shipping containers as they are.
