One thing I've wondered about... Couldn't a reasonable place to stay
for a family be built in a 20' container? They're stackable, so you
could load a stack train up and unload in an empty parking lot.

Assuming the parking lot is right by the tracks and that the unloading
equipment can be set up/used on-site. If not, add a transportation
step to the set-up process.


Right, but 2-3 semis with a pair of containers each could probably have
10-20 containers set up in a day.


Have you ever been _in_ a container? 20' by 6' is what, about 120 square
feet? No Windows, door hardware only on the exterior. No plumbing,
No electricity.


Yeah, just sleep in the street. 120ft^2 isn't enough shelter. It's
*insulting*.
