“Not many storage lockers have electric power, at least not around here. There are times when putting a freezer makes sense (moved to a smaller apartment, temporarily, etc.).”

I have heard of people living in storage facilities.

The storage unit is the “smaller apartment.”

Around here, I have heard of people living in a wide variety of makeshift habitations, including one fairly elaborate and well-insulated makeshift dwelling built underneath an overpass, complete with a gas heater. (It was discovered and destroyed). That, however is not the norm, at least at this latitude, and electricity here wasn't ubiquitous until the REC came through in the '50s.

We have a serious housing shortage, here, though (Western North Dakota).
