come on - you ain't lived till you've actually done something with the cargo container, after placing it on yer property.

and StevKlar - there be 3 and 4 level cargo container condos and houses IN NYC, folk bought 12 ft wide plots and went vertical.

No, not look like cargo containers anymore - faux frontage outside, is verra nice.

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !
Ya know, you can find the answer to your question with the advanced search tool, when using a PC? Ditch the handphone, come back later on a PC, and try again.

I know I kid you about it, but in reality I'm impressed with how nice of places people have built out of shipping containers. I have considered doing such a thing when I move with my wife to the Philippines, but she may hate me if I want to build something using other than concrete.

each container cost 1500.

There were other problems :D

I didn't say it was cheap there in NYC - just that it was done there already.

outraged at the cost ? you should be !

That looks like a Taliban shishkabob cart...


That container house has gotta be the only one in NYC. I can't imagine the amount of time and money to fight for the variance.

I thought NYC has many many illegals. Should be plenty of cheap labor around.
