Bald Stalin posted:Shipping containers are sofa king dumb. It's cheaper to just use pieces of steel instead of retrofitting them. Liberal brain rot. Maybe a little but not by much, containers are really cheap. They also typically use rust resistant corten steel. The main saving is that you don't have to assemble it into a box, half the labour is done already. Pepe Silvia Browne posted:the factory i work at is at the end of this long country road and there's a bunch of mcmansions lining the road on the way there, it's crazy to me that all these guys have the same huge rear end lawn with just nothing in it. no gardens, no trees, no bushes, just acres of flat grass they all have to mow for 6 hours every sunday lol Lawns are good you just have to mow them with a sheep, or as some of my neighbours call it, a ride on lawn mower.

it turns out "building a roof and four walls" is a solved problem and it's not the expensive part of a house

if you really wanted to use a shipping container for housing you'd prolly be better off breaking it down and using the steel panels for roofing surface

I would simply not build our entire economy to be reliant on millions upon millions of metal rectangles constantly being loaded and unloaded on gas-guzzling ships manned with not-quite-slave labor but I'm built different

the milk machine posted:it's being pushed from above a bit, but the tiny house / shipping container thing is like catnip for architecture students and design competitions so you see a whole bunch of dumb poo poo that's not thought out very well couldn’t have said it better. It ends up being the perfect thing for an eye catching college project that doesn’t stand up to scrutiny from anyone really investigating the reality of it. My undergrad engineering program partnered with an undergrad architecture program to design some poo poo like this. Both teams designed the most heinous dogshit, but that dogshit just happened to exhibit all the various academic concepts we were supposed to demonstrate. the funniest part is the (multiple) container house we designed was required to have a traditional Chinese courtyard because it was being submitted to a contest in China, vaguely partnered with a Chinese university which I’m sure was some international student marketing. None of the designs seemed remotely livable despite reasonable square footage (on paper) as a result. I stuck 3 colored LEDs in a breadboard and aligned them to make “white” light for the house’s fixtures. I got a B.

It's more just refusing to accept that bi people exist, since everyone should eventually pick to be either straight or gay. And this might come from otherwise tolerant people, straight or gay. But yeah, you're not getting beat up for being bi except if you're (inaccurately) being beat up for being gay.

This was just being discussed in another thread, it's because shipping containers are just about the absolute worst thing you could turn into a house and all they're good for is to architecture student final projects that will never be built. Also enough people have actually lived in tiny houses that it is known they suck rear end unless you have to live there.

Tiny houses are definitely still a thing, but they don’t get as much attention anymore. Lots of people think they’re the solution to the homeless crisis which I think better that then the fenced in parking lots where people are all told they can pitch a tent and get patrolled by 24/7 security Shipping container houses honestly I don’t know if I’ve ever seen one in the wild

Used to be we'd just call a tiny house a shack. I've known a few truckers that have converted a reefer trailer into a home, but have never known anyone to live in a container.

I've seen larger garden sheds, but at least they have A/C. (lucky duckies!!!!!)

Yeah idk the devils in the details and obviously we can and should just make normal housing for people, but if nothing else they seem like they’re a step up from a big parking lot where you get pointed to the spot where you’re allowed to pitch a tent, and definitely better than a cot in an overcrowded shelter where you have to join in on the group prayers before bed and such

Also enough people have actually lived in tiny houses that it is known they suck rear end unless you have to live there. I've seen some people living in tinyhouses (not built out of shipping containers) that seem pretty happy with it, but they've all been very outdoorsy active hippy types with houses in rural areas and they're basically in the house very little.

shipping containers were never actually a thing, just clickbait, but tinyhomes got officially consecrated into building codes and law as ADUs and they can't be built or sold fast enough, especially in cali they suck, its like applying austerity in the form of compressing living space while holding on to the truemost sacrosanct value of all americans: thou shalt not share a wall with thy neighbor
