Don't focus so tightly on the container as it is. Look at it as it could

And by the time you do that w/ a box not intended for the purpose might
as well just have a purpose-built prefab -- oh, FEMA already did that.

There's an outfit around here using them as the basis for tornado
shelters and folks use them all over as storage and occasionally
repurpose for small barns, etc., and yes, rarely for dwelling space but
they're simply not particularly well-suited for the purpose at hand.


Geez, pick at nits much?

Whether you start with a container as a framework or whether you start
from scratch and build a habitation that can be handled using standard
container-handling equipment, you end up in the same place, and
whining about how it can't be done is just obstructionism.
