Do you actually think that a shipping container can't be made suitable and legal for habitation??

Then can you explain these?

I've seen some awesome articles about using shipping containers for housing. In Europe, Asia and other areas they are used to build entire apartment complexes. It's not that hard to cut out holes for windows and doors, string electrical wiring and mount plumbing pipes inside, then finish the walls/ceilings/floors to look like a stick-built home. You'd have to take some extra measures in a tropical and storm-prone climate like PR -- anchoring them to the ground, and rust-protection.

LOL can you post an article about a shipping container turned into a hurricane proof home set onto a flood plane?

You got that right

I know reading's hard for you contards, but you might actually page down in the article and see that at least one is in Costa Rica (guess where hurricanes go?), and others were said to be "beach houses." I don't want you to strain yourself though, so don't bother reading.

BTW, I'm fairly sure that few of the dwellings in PR are "hurricane proof." Same with homes in FL, coastal Texas/LA/AL/MS/SC/NC.

The fact that a shipping container can be made habitable, is not the same thing as making it hurricane proof in a Puerto Rican flood zone. Shipping containers are not hurricane proof, by any part of their construction. I suppose if one chose to set them onto 20 foot pilings set into concrete, but at this point the cost would make any savings of container use negligible. Is that 4 inch thick shatterproof glass in the photos, with hermetically sealed doors and windows? Those things are 3 inches off the ground, would you live in that where ten foot surges are common?

Just think Dude

But that would hold true for just about any home, so your pathetic platitudes are just you whining. :D

When the SHIPPING CONTAINERS are anchored, are they going to be destroyed; which is the problem that was a result of the last Hurricane??

How much of the US coastline should we declare inhabitable and is all of PR to be evacuated and the island declared off limits?

You're just like the rest of the JPP liberal snowflakes and liberals in general; because all you can do is bitch and moan, without a single option for improvement suggested.

That is not a semi truck, it is a shipping container set on a container truck. You probably see these every day and do not know what you are looking at.

But sweetie, that rig is not the same as the one you tried to pawn off on us before.

Are you now trying to not only backpedal; but juggle, at the same time?? :D

You need to explain that to Donny; because he's confident that you and the rest of us are incorrect.

He's not a con, he's just some troll that's trying really hard to make himself appear informed and he's failing.

Richard Branson (net worth 5.1 billion dollars) did not have enough money to build a hurricane proof home, yet in your ignorant minds a used shipping container sitting 3 inches above the grade is hurricane proof.

What planet are you on, there are hundreds of millions of these things, they are everywhere. Why would I need to stick to one photo? You are the IQ less grunt that does not know the difference between a semi that can haul either a trailer or container.................

Pawn, LOL

Again, the Holiday Inn has a plumbed foundation, and cost millions of dollars. This structure however will not be as hurricane proof as a steel frame building set onto a concrete frame, which would cost more. That said the cost savings might be worth it if the building is destroyed in a hurricane, and can be rebuilt cheaply enough from new or used containers again. The Holiday Inn is a business concerned with profits not with being hurricane proof.

Again, Manchester used to build UNSINKABLE SHIPS, now they are building HURRICANE PROOF CHEAP CONTAINER STRUCTURES. Tell the Ocean that, she just don't give a shit

Oh ffs, Puerto Rico gets a hurricane like once in a hundred years, they are a damn sight better than a shack built from corrugated iron and plywood. You're just a wind-up merchant so I will have no more to do with you.

I was right. Reading *is* too hard for you. Want to show me where I said anything was hurricane-proof?

Donnie wants the entire Island of PR, the Eastern coast of the US, the US coast line of the Gulf of Mexico, and all the areas surrounding the San Andres Fault, to be vacated and no improvements to be made; because they can't be absolutely viable, for the next disaster.
