----- --- 2588171 What is with this huge trend of shipping container houses, why wouldn't you just build a fucking frame for less than it costs for the fucking container and actually make a home or something? Am I missing something here? Is this actually good for cheap housing on lots in the middle of nowhere or just some hipster faggy social media trend --- 2588173 >>2588171 (OP) It's the house-building version of being a retarded hipster. --- 2588181 >>2588171 (OP) Exgf went to school for "interior design" years ago and always went off about recycling, sustainability and low cost because there were millions of unused shipping containers around the world just rotting away. Couldnt understand that if they weren't good for shipping products anymore because they were rotting that they wouldn't be good for habitation. "Nooo just have to get the new(er) ones" despite that no longer being sustainable, recycling or low cost anymore. Relationship didn't last long. --- 2588183 people are looking for creative solutions to the housing affordability problem and not everyone has the skills to frame a house --- 2588186 >>2588171 (OP) Look at how much welding and metalwork went into that place. You could easily just weld some GI sheets onto those beams and get the same effect. Unless you got the shipping containers for free, i don’t think it makes too much sense. In my city, if you drive around the industrial area, there are *thousands* of semi trailers that have been abandon for decades… would make sense to use them to house homeless or something. --- 2588187 >>2588183 >and not everyone has the skills to frame a house If you have at least gradeschool competency in math and a basic understanding of physics then you can easily fucking learn, this is an issue for the lazy. --- 2588189 >>2588183 >can't frame a house >but has steel framing for the siding >and the deck --- 2588191 >>2588187 ok retard. i know this is diy so par for the course but learning things is for cucks, the entire point of any industry is to not have to learn anything. the construction industry is in the stone age, you knuckledraggers need to step up your game so people don't have to resort to memes like shipping containers, there's no excuse for houses not being modular like legos --- 2588195 >>2588191 I work in marketing you goon, but I know what 16 on center means. >there's no excuse for houses not being modular like legos I see that you are particularly stupid and dumb with a side of pissed and upset, just do whatever it is you do --- 2588198 >>2588171 (OP) Why is the garage facing the back yard? --- 2588202 >>2588191 lmaooooooooooooooo this nigga really thinks lego house is the answer best i can do is lincoln logs --- 2588203 You have to frame the inside of a shipping container anyways, legally --- 2588204 >>2588198 Why wouldnt you want this? Stops everyone from creeping on your cars --- 2588205 >>2588186 Specialty use of these is definitely a good idea. There’s a company in Louisiana that turns them into portable buildings for temporary use (office space, laboratories, control rooms, housing). They can be picked up with a crane, easily maneuvered into place, anchored with minimal effort, and fit on the back of a flatbed. Muh container home is a meme though. --- 2588209 >>2588181 Women..l --- 2588211 >>2588171 (OP) That looks like a TF2 map --- 2588217 >>2588202 Actual answer is picrel but constructioncels deserve to be dabbed on --- 2588227 >>2588183 The problem is zoning, not construction. --- 2588234 >>2588171 (OP) a builder and materials and labor is likely a lot more than a container. a craiglist container is like 3k maybe as to self-building, i think most people dont want their housees falling on them which is why they ask someone else to do it (not to mention theyre all busy waggieing) --- 2588239 >>2588171 (OP) It's the pallet furniture of building --- 2588316 >wanting to live in a shipping container I'm a trucker and we're hauling fucking radiation sources, poisonous chemicals with decades long half lives, etc. in those things. I doubt people are considering that when buying a beat up container --- 2588327 >INNOVATIVE HOUSING SOLUTION: First, you take a shipping container >and then, you build an entire house around it --- 2588342 >>2588316 You think educated people follow these tiktok and facebook trends --- 2588372 >>2588171 (OP) Its desperation for cheaper homes --- 2588440 >>2588372 What a shocker that hippies and environmentalist nutjobs are also broke --- 2588454 >>2588440 ok boomer --- 2588464 they are more hurricane proof than most buildings. Sure you can build a hurricane proof house, but a connex box is cheaper. --- 2588465 >>2588316 >>2588342 For me, it's making everything out of pallets, knowing full well how disgusting the "clean" ones are. --- 2588855 >>2588204 But your cars can't get in or out without ruining the lawn. --- 2588962 >>2588440 Sell me cheap land mr boomer. --- 2589021 A boomer bought a property near me as a private hunting patch. He set two shipping containers parallel and slapped some prefab steel trusses on em to make a roof as his hunting cabin thingy. I guess it works. --- 2589025 >>2588171 (OP) Would wonder what the RF shielding is like in one of those. I get a shit signal in my house as is, if I was surrounded by thick metal walls, feels like I would get an even worse signal. --- 2589027 >>2588171 (OP) >What is with this huge trend of shipping container houses Welcome to 10 years ago. --- 2589028 >>2588198 Since when do people park their car in their garage? --- 2589029 >>2588191 >learning things is for cucks KYS yourself in a fire. The world will be a better place. --- 2589036 >>2588205 Diesel Creek picked up some storage/office units from Ritchie Bros auction site, you can get that stuff dirt cheap that way. Buying new is dumb, unless it's by a corporation. Look at this: https://www.ironplanet.com/jsp/s/item/9256884?utm_source=rbauction&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=syndication&src=mktg Starting bid, $5. But there's enough there for a small cabin type build, just add plumbing and power. The gotcha is, you have to come get it with your own truck. But field offices and other buildouts in shipping containers are dirt cheap in the industrial auction world. Hell, you can get a polycarb greenhouse, unopened in it's crate, on the Ritchie Bros site, someone dumped a shit load of them on there. --- 2589070 >>2588171 (OP) They make great workshops but art is stupid and container artshit over one storey is stupid. I use one-trip grade containers not WWT condemned junk. They work very well for the competent (me and bros) who benefit from the dry vermin-free easily dehumidified stormproof equipment storage for our machine shops and in my case, classic motorbike collection. They work great for industrial and military structures. The military and industry have done everything worth doing with containers which like all structural options are completely solved with nothing new to invent. To succeed copy them. Containers are a thing where if you already know what to do with them they're great, but if you haven't lived that gearhead weldy fabricating life you probably don't need one. Other Anons have containers serving them well. >>2588464 Truth and they're easy to weld together. What poorfag /diy/tards tend to forget is the only housing solution for being a failure is suicide. There are not a lot of good options for people who suck at life because their problem is who they are. --- 2589073 >>2588962 Do your own exhaustive homework and be flexible about location. Tax sales etc are out there. Learn to network because that's what gets the deals. The whole US isn't expensive but hunting land takes work. Find properties others may not want to develop, or land that has enough level area for your stuff but the rest is buffer or needs clearing. Haunt GIS sites. The people buying these properties as investments and calling my ass all the time are doing precisely that, but they want distress sales so they can lowball and I ain't having that because their margin isn't my problem. --- 2589091 >>2588171 (OP) "Hey there's this big thing that's flat and rectangular; maybe I can make a building out of it." It's kinda stupid, but I understand the thought process. --- 2589099 >>2588186 >would make sense to use them to house homeless or something You know what would make sense to house the homeless? Fucking homes. There are enough of them that are sitting useless and empty because nobody can afford the rent on them. --- 2589140 >>2588171 (OP) as bad as the shipping containers are, i am most disgusted by the "foundation" --- 2589152 >>2588171 (OP) this is retarded. if you gonna make metal roof, and ur gonna weld steel you might as well go full weld structure, what is the point of containers if your gonna metal stud anyways? it is cheaper to just buy 2x20 if you want metal exterior. --- 2589170 >>2588316 >in those things Not in the ones sold to consumers, no. --- 2589302 >>2588227 >problem is zoning How so? --- 2589390 >>2589025 I did a similar thing. 2 containers I parallel and I planned to put a roof over them for parking space. I never intended to live in them though. I used them for storage and can confirm, signal reception in side of them is practically impossible unless you have windows to stand next to or install some sort of repeater to "catch" the signal on the outside and bring it inside the house. --- 2589394 >>2589099 If they can't afford the rent, they wouldn't take care of it. There is a direct correlation between rent paid and how much damage the renters do to the property. That's why landlords hate section 8 applicants, because they are only paying a little amount and the government covers the rest... If the renter is only personally paying $200/mo, they treat the house like it's only worth that much even if the landlord with getting another $300/month from the government. I don't know what the actual numbers are, but the point is, the less a renter personally pays, the more damage they are going to do to the property. --- 2589396 >>2589302 >he doesn't know --- 2589399 >>2589394 oh a thousand pardons milord I'm sorry my having a place to live diminished your investment please let me suckle yon toes by way of apology --- 2589404 >>2588171 (OP) they are looking to reduce on site work. they want to have a standard product they can built in butt-fuck mexico and ship to location and avoid paying the 60-100 $/hr union framer in America --- 2589432 >why wouldn't you just build a fucking frame for less than it costs for the fucking container and actually make a home or something? Because people are dumb. I can literally build a steel framming + cement board cuck shed for half of the price with wiring, plumbing and heat in 2 days. I think im gonna start selling compact houses telling people its made from decomissioned shipping containers (it will be steel framming cdb kek!) to those idiots. --- 2589451 Why do these threads keep getting made? The answer is real fucking simple. Well over a decade at this point it used to be that no one wanted shipping containers and you could get them for literally almost free, sometimes all you'd have to pay is the delivery fee just so they could get rid of it. That was the appeal. That is no longer the case in part thanks to this social media meme and thus there is no longer a point. Anyone doing it now is paying a premium for junk to be trendy. --- 2589475 >>2589302 A shipping container is considered temporary and therefore is not subject to the zoning regulations. --- 2589486 >>2588181 Childless women are AIDS. If you put a baby in her she would shut the fuck right up about jewish hype and only think about how you can get the biggest house and most money right fucking now. --- 2589488 >>2588183 >the housing affordability problem Move out of California --- 2589619 >>2589488 suck my cock --- 2589651 >>2588203 Depends on location. Don't generalize without qualifying. >>2589021 Steelmaster and other prefab building makers sell kits for that too and they're impressive. I have a small Steelmaster not bridging my containers but will do that if I want more space in future. --- 2589655 >>2589170 Think again. Anyone who has not personally dealt with container structures should recuse themselves. Learn container grades. WWT grade is condemned for maritime use and the cheapest intact container but the end door gaskets are usually rekt so they leak and the rest often looks like a bag of walnuts. The shit hauled in them is unknown but it washes off. The rest of the box is the problem. Cargo ready boxes usually remain in use. One trip (new) containers are what you want for shops or other projects. I have two 4-' High Cubes with doors on both ends. Nothing smaller or shorter than that is worthwhile unless there is a genuinely compelling use case for lesser, shorter space. >>2589390 I drilled a sidewall then made a PVC feedthrough and potted a USB wifi adapter in sealant. Works fine ten years later. If it dies I'll saw it off and replace it. --- 2589704 >>2588171 (OP) Ill take a shipping container for storing some cars or shed. Maybe at most a guest room in RV style. No way i would build a house out of it --- 2589718 >>2589655 >wifi Who is feeding you the wifi signal? --- 2589723 >>2589718 Starlink --- 2589808 >>2589396 Neither do you obviously or you would have answered --- 2589809 >>2588171 (OP) They are just memes. The best, cheapest way to obtain home ownership is to buy an old house and just move in. Do not renovate. Just move in and start living. --- 2589813 >>2588171 (OP) It originated in a time when you could buy a used container for like $500. The only people still doing it are influencers and people who don't know any better. --- 2589845 >>2589808 It's illegal to build anything but single family detached homes in most places, they are expensive, wasteful and low density all of which contribute to house and land price inflation and create urban sprawl and the resultant car dependency, nimbyism blocking public works and transport and bloating utility and infrastructure overhead costs required to reach them. Zoning is a literal satanic ritual designed to extract suffering from the world and its inhabitants. --- 2589851 >>2589809 >please buy my clapped out trap house --- 2590000 >>2589475 This also that was the point of tinyhouses if its on wheels its conidered a mobile/temp. Its all about loopholes anon. Start think like beaucrat --- 2590033 >>2589809 this is my philisophy, unless theres some shit like black mold or termites I would just move in asnit is and start living. the married guys at work though constantly complain that their wives regularly get tired of kitchen designs, walls, tiling, etc so they have to tear shit up that was working perfectly fine before. --- 2590833 >>2588187 >If you have at least gradeschool competency in math and a basic understanding of physics ¿Que? --- 2590844 >>2588181 Shes not completely wrong Used once chinese shipping containers can be purchased cheap because its cheaper to make new ones than it is to ship them back empty and use them again This system only works because people buy them though so its not the feel good anti capitalist environmental move people think it is --- 2590889 >>2588327 Jordan Peterson Hunter Biden Jeff Epstein Who is the top left? --- 2590894 >>2588183 Shipping containers were only an inexpensive housing possibility before people saw them as an inexpensive housing possibility. Once that happened, it became a virtue signal and prices shot up. It's similar to how chicken wings used to be served in bars for cheap because they were considered waste material but then people got accustomed to having wings when watching sports and the price shot up. --- 2590895 Had a look at shipping container houses. >you need to add loads of insulation >you need to add cladding for it not to look shit and to protect from the elemtns >you need to re-enforce load bearing walls because cutting out the sides destroys their structural integrity There's ultimately not a massive amount of benefit to them. --- 2590898 >>2589845 Access to white people isn't a human right, no matter how much you wish you could force everyone to be crammed into an urban hive where you could use them like the parasite you are. --- 2590924 >>2590889 slavoj zizek --- 2590965 >>2588327 >>2590889 >mfw I saw it was zizek >mfw I read the filename --- 2590968 >>2588171 (OP) >why wouldn't you just build a fucking frame for less than it costs for the fucking container Did you miss the price of wood or something? You can get a conex at an auction for a hundred dollars if you pay attention, while you can't even finish one wall with a hundred dollars of 2x6. --- 2591513 My friend made a container into a small house, he builds houses so he hauls it to the new worksite and has a place for the foreman to live. --- 2591561 >>2590898 >claims to be white >campletely dependent on the ford motor company to reach the nearest basic necessity a 30 minute drive away --- 2592151 >>2588171 (OP) https://homeworlddesign.com/container-hostel-in-germany-with-an-industrial-twist/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-tgagiIjxI [Embed] --- 2592557 >>2592151 Hotels genuinely seem the best things for shipping containers. One of the biggest theme parks in the UK built one as a budget hotel and they decided just to fully lean into it being made from containers rather than trying to hide it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0leFfN3364 [Embed] --- 2592631 >>2589488 What's the deal with that spot of red in what I think is Wyoming? --- 2592639 >>2592631 It's called yellowstone --- 2592656 >>2589488 >just move away from your friends and family and all the good jobs and good stores and live in a shit hole --- 2592658 >>2592656 Why do you crave cities? Who needs brick and mortar stores for other than bricks and mortar? Room to shoot on your own property and do what you will is amazing. Are you so weak you need to cling to family for life instead of exploring? Are you unable to replace frens? --- 2592685 >>2588171 (OP) It's, like tinyhouses and vanlife, another way for internet influencers who get paid way too much to promote deception, pretending that retarded bullshit like this will somehow make an affordable home despite being as expensive or worse in the end than buying an actual house. >>2589394 hmmm yes a shoebox sized apartment should cost $3k a month minimum even in the middle of bumfuck nowhere what a good point you've made, landlord. >>2589488 This is just like those weather maps where they changed the color grading so temps in the 80s were given the "super scary red" coloration that historically 100+ was given to make people fear climate change. Marking $150k in the nice calm blue to pretend it's "affordable". Meanwhile, a rotted out foreclosure shithole that's in far worse condition than the $30k box my family bought decades ago is listed for $84k, and any house that's actually livable without having to invest heavily in repairs and replacements is well into the 6 digits. Shit like that might be "affordable" if wages actually kept up with rising costs of living, but they haven't. --- 2592689 >>2592658 mm yes I love dying towns and meth dens so much to explore outside of cities. --- 2592692 >>2592658 driving over an hour one way for a screw is fucking shit. having sidewalks is nice. --- 2593127 They are great for a holidayhome in remote areas. Even above the polarcircle you can just use a refrigerator one, its already well insulated. They don't need alot of maintaince so they are great if you only visit once a year. And they can take alot of weight so you don't have to worry if there is 6ft of snow. But for normal life i wouldn't. --- 2593152 >>2588191 >learning things is for cucks i'm sorry for your involuntary celibacy --- 2593157 >>2591561 >the nearest basic necessity city-think you don't have to drive to the mcdonalds drive-thru twice every day for all your meals, you know. there is a thing known as cooking at home. it's even possible to grow food at home, and if you're not in the city, homeless drug addicts won't won't come by daily to rip up your garden nor will police come daily to check if they can shoot your animals dead, either. --- 2593159 >>2589488 I love this map because you posted it as though it's an endorsement of the dark teal areas but because it's actually just a map of home value, it's a map of where people really want to buy a home and live for a while. Those people are willing to sell their houses at a loss to escape their shithole 'cozy' southern redneck methville towns and flee to somewhere with something of value for them and their children. --- 2593168 >>2588171 (OP) >>2588171 (OP) If you have used containers, is cheaper to convince someone that is cool to live inside a bunch of those more than dispose them properly. From a sustainability point of view it's way better to recycle them to make new containers and build the house out of wood (or even concrete at this point) --- 2593693 >>2593159 >to escape their shithole 'cozy' southern redneck methville towns and flee to somewhere with something of value for them and their children --- 2593821 >>2588189 >why can't you just frame blah blah blah >OP picrel has a frame --- 2593852 >>2589099 The homeless are failures, fuckups, derelicts and trash. They used to behave when cops were paid to beat them into acting somewhat human. --- 2593854 >>2589718 My home router as I've multiple structures but a hotspot would be easy to place in a large plastic outdoor box with a larger feedthrough for fast access when swapping parts and cables. Steel walls are a breeze to work with when ya weld. You can change anything you like or reverse any change ya don't. --- 2593855 >>2588227 That's not a problem in many areas like mine, but since people want to keep out poors as they should it makes sense to zone for expensive conformity. Want freedom? Go rural. --- 2593856 >>2589399 Stop being a failure and you won't be poor. What is the difference between you and successful humans? --- 2593857 >>2589451 The real reason prices are up is NOT homes, it's utility buildings and shops like mine. Containers and containers integrated with steel buildings are great for industrial use. Container flow also matters and as trade changes market prices change. --- 2593858 >>2589813 None of the 500 dollar boxes were other than shit. 2000-3000 is pocket change in 2023 but a nice one-trip grade 40' High Cube tends to be at least 4500 which is still cheap for what they do and why I just added one (I've four HCs so far) for shop space. --- 2593860 >>2589845 Zoning keeps out trash people pay to escape. --- 2593897 People are retards. They think "house is box, shipping container is box, me make house from shipping container!" --- 2593903 >>2588440 >we'll take 10s of thousands of dollars of structural steel and not use it to save money Kill yourself. --- 2593911 >>2589488 >"Only" $150k for a 5000sqft cucklot in literallywhere with a molding cardboard box on it Flyover fags are the worst, you take such pride in getting fucked up the ass by central bankers --- 2593914 >>2589099 > fucking homes Not really a good option now. They are the #1 money laundering vehicle. Banks cut deals with the city and developers to not pay tax, and sit on them empty rather than let them go for less and reduce the “value” of their “assets” Yet, even with what’s probably a 50% vacancy rate where I live, they are building new shit like gangbusters! --- 2593919 >>2593858 You can buy bolt-together steel 'barns' for under $20k that are 10-20x the size of a SC, the only advantage containers have is trying to skirt permitting --- 2593958 >>2590833 no habla --- 2594046 >>2593855 Try opening a grocery store or restaurant in your horizon-to-horizon single family residential zoned sprawl and see how free you are. --- 2594300 >>2593911 Keep seething --- 2594373 >>2593159 least naive cityfag --- 2594394 >>2593919 They have considerable additional advantages which is why steel building kits often incorporate containers. Study industrial and military use since everything not industrial or military is inferior. https://www.steelmasterusa.com/quonset-huts/kits/shipping-container-covers-roofs/ https://www.seabox.com/products/category/containerized-shelters shows examples where containers are often superior to typical steel buildings. --- 2594396 >>2588234 >a craiglist container is like 3k maybe WWT shit grade. Not to be confused with one-trip grade vastly better for making shops etc. The OP build is mostly silly. --- 2594400 >>2593919 I also have a Steelmaster and like it. However "size" under roof is not the same thing as protected enclosure for my machine and welding equipment. >>2594046 The solution to those developments is NOT TO LIVE THERE so I don't. I don't need a restaurant. Not my problem because I planned my life to suit my desires, not to stupidly butt heads out of autism. Reality exists. Adapt or whine like a bitch then compare utility of outcomes. Most of the world is not that kind of development. Living there is YOUR choice not mine. --- 2594517 >>2594400 >Today, around 75% of land zoned for housing in major U.S. cities is zoned for single-family housing. --- 2594714 >>2588171 (OP) It's retarded unless you don't need insulation and don't mind the smell of whatever radioactive chemicals it was used to ship. --- 2594888 >>2594517 It should be higher. Privately owned rowhomes are 10x better than dystopian rental commieblocks. Pic related is Philadelphia. Most of the city outside of downtown looks like this. --- 2594892 >>2594888 And each of those little grey boxes on the map is a house. Owned by the resident. Not Bill Gates or the Federal Reserve. They're narrow, but everyone gets 2 floors + a basement, enough space out front to park 1 car, a small front lawn, and small back lawn for your dogs. This is the MAXIMUM amount of urbanization that a human being would feel comfortable living it. --- 2594897 >>2594888 >waaaaaah there's not enough endless unnavigable cul de sacs and front yards that you can't use for anything Your pic seems based --- 2595026 >>2588171 (OP) <Storm produces wind over 40 mph ROOF: <I'm outta here, bro. Peace! --- 2595084 >>2594897 >and front yards that you can't use for anything They're great for growing herbs and potatoes if you don't live in a crime-ridden shithole. Unfortunately, places like that are becoming more and more rare in Philadelphia. A lot of my friends are being pushed to move to Bensalem or Rockledge. --- 2595218 >>2588171 (OP) >>2588181 >globalist caball wants to end international shipping for 'muh climate change' >globallist caball also wants to make money on all their now useless shipping containers >they also want to normalize living in non-standard lower quality housing >muh recylcing, muh upcycling, muh resources shipping containers and vanlife are a psyop. i hate the antichrist. --- 2595229 >>2588171 (OP) >just build a fucking frame for less than it costs for the fucking container A few back a local bar started up a smoked meat business (ribs, brisket, etc) and set up in three 40' shipping containers in the parking lot, one for wood storage, another for the smokers and the third for the "lobby" and the guy doing it said be bought them (in metro Detroit) for around $800 each. A quick search shows they're going for $2150-3000 each today. --- 2595296 >>2588183 >need land to put it on >need plumbing and electrical put in >need to put in insulation >less space and more costly than a used, purpose built mobile home It isn’t cost efficient. People are just averse to trailer parks. --- 2595316 >>2595218 >globallist caball also wants to make money on all their now useless shipping containers That doesn't make much sense. They're worth plenty as scrap. --- 2595331 >>2594888 You can privately own apartment units too, in fact in many places it's common. It never caught on in NA due to the abundance of space I guess but now we're paying the price. --- 2595955 >>2591513 And it's not a bad home at all. I might buy it from him. --- 2595997 >>2589655 Any idea where to purchase old cold storage containers? The have a 4x4 metal frame with 2" thick wooden walls fiberglassed over. They are superior to the full metal connexes --- 2596328 >>2588171 (OP) Neh... beter learn to design and construct some concret structure and fill it with what you want, --- 2596735 >>2595296 >People are just averse to trailer parks. precisely. i dont wanna live like a poor person and living in a glorified crate makes me more like Diogenes than bill-bob --- 2596749 >>2595997 I don't know where to get those and for my use they'd not be an upgrade. I wouldn't mind a couple of proper reefer containers (CONEX are really the little military things from the Nam era) but those are expensive on the East coast even without the Thermo King. The best way since most such are sold through the same brokers is call a couple and ask. Prices are all over the place. A private sale could be a deal but ya'd need to prearrange a quote from someone with a Landoll with a winch for a 40 or a rollback truck for a 20. --- 2596752 >>2595316 It doesn't make any sense and that chucklehead never worked with containers hence should shut its cock holster. Even storage grade WWT easily sell for more than scrap because they're really not very heavy and breaking up the floor to separate the wood is tedious. Containers either work well for special purposes or should be ignored. Poorfags don't deserve a place to live because they're stupid but they keep posting also because they're stupid. Poverty is voluntary unless one is a cripple. --- 2597596 >>2593911 You're clearly generalizing based on one specific place. Even the cruddy little place I have isn't half as bad as you're making it sound. Best part is, no niggers, no spics. Never even seen an active police officer here because we don't need em. It's cheap and peaceful. --- 2597599 >>2595296 I don't wanna live in a trailer park because of the other people living in them. They're always trouble. --- 2597672 >>2595296 There is zero need to have a trailer park to use manufactured housing. It's the fast way to get set up on rural property you own. Concern for image is faggotry. --- 2597831 >>2589394 >There is a direct correlation between rent paid and how much damage the renters do to the property. fuckin lol'd --- 2597833 >>2592631 take a guess where the airport is in wyoming --- 2597920 >>2597831 It's mostly true. Unless the rent is over $1200 in my area, Mexicans move 4 families into a single family unit and annihilate it. I'm living in one for $550 and they'd put holes in the walls, used thousands of staples, the yard is dirt, they smoked, threw their garbage down the sides of the stairs and covered it with plastic, and they built a basement bedroom out of shower curtains. The cherry on top was finding used needles in the vents alongside kid's toys.Fucking Mexicans... --- 2598573 >>2588171 (OP) I worked on a monstrosity that had like 12 containers. The fucking sound whenever I screwed I did something, it'd be hell to live there. And it was in a fucking windy place so the whole thing made wind noises. --- 2598971 >>2593693 Portsmouth New Hampshire is not in the dark blue or light blue areas anon.... --- 2598973 >>2593693 Your pic rel is med house price 750k picr rel --- 2598974 >>2594300 Oh my goodness he's still doing it --- 2598982 >>2595296 >People are just averse to trailer parks. To piggyback off what the other anon said, Trailer parks would be lovely, if it were not for the trailer trash living in them. --- 2599008 >>2589488 How do I keep the gays, trannies, and libtards out of my area? --- 2599438 >>2599008 Huh, I had actually looked at that place to move to at one point. Don't worry though, I'm neither considering it anymore, nor am I Cali style dumbfuck. --- 2599848 what''s stopping me from building a 20k steel barn like >>2593919 said and progressively building an interior to match the size as time goes on? Sounds like a pretty good deal, you've already got a covered garage for your car and everything --- 2599859 >>2595296 Trailer parks, the concept, are not the issue. I would love living in a park-like community with well built efficient modular/factory homes for a good price. The permanent issue is every time these communities are tried it fills up with human gutter waste who no one with anything positive in their lives wants to live anywhere near, let alone in a community-dominated space. I don't know what the solution is or even why it happens but it always does. --- 2599889 >>2599008 Dixieland flags are to coastoids what a crucifix is to a vampire. --- 2600694 >>2599859 >I would love living in a park-like community with well built efficient modular/factory homes for a good price. Why would anyone with a choice want neighbors? Serious question. >>2599889 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVDjZaIlJ24 [Embed] ^This should offend them sois nicely. |
