Shipping containers are sofa king dumb. It's cheaper to just use pieces of steel instead of retrofitting them. Liberal brain rot.

I know that if my awful brain managed to work for like 10 seconds I coul see all the problems with this idea but all I can manage for now is think ''actually that's kind of cool'' which worries me a little?

Have I fallen for the syren songs of liberalism by letting myself be tempted by a luxury trash cabin on stilts just because it seems fun?

that is the perfect american 20-something guys version of housing. 50K car, 50K house. the house will be structurally compromised to prioritize parking. also you will spend your every waking moment walking up and down stairs, well, the ones you're not tripping and falling on stairs. there is no room for cooking or for friends.

Theres room for a chair and TV, why would he need friends????

The shipping container living/tinyhouse movement is so weird and widespread. Do I have Epstein Brain if I wonder if its being pushed from above?

it's being pushed from above a bit, but the tiny house / shipping container thing is like catnip for architecture students and design competitions so you see a whole bunch of dumb poo poo that's not thought out very well

it's a project that's relatively limited in scope that looks like it's forward thinking and addressing current / future housing issues, and you can hand wave (lie) about how it's sustainable and environmentally friendly and affordable

the same reason industrial design students are always redesigning the bicycle by examining the concept and then removing anything good or useful about it

both things are easy for brain dead "tech" "journalists" to grab a few renders, write three paragraphs about how it's so futuristic and will change the world, and then hit publish

As someone who loves video games that make me design a little spaceship, I can fully sympathize with the idea that tiny houses are just so cool to work on as an architect or urban designer.

For a lot of these people, this is the only time they spend alone with their thoughts apart from showering. That's incredibly therapeutic when you're someone who doesn't know how to take care of themselves emotionally
