Did you know where all of those shipping containers come from?

In 2001, China produced more than one million twenty feet equivalent units (TEUs) or 80 percent of the world's containers.

A 40' shipping container can run between $1,500-$2,000
I've seen 20' footers for as low as $600 ...

Whole shipping container cities could spring up over night if the right laws were passed.

Here's a plan for thousands of shipping containers to be purchased from China and shipped to England to form a shipping container high rise for only 45 pounds a week, plus 7 pounds more a month for maintence which includes heat, laundry, free internet access and security.

I'm thinking about a shipping container cabin in the middle of no where,
but even in the middle of no where has zoning laws.
