P.S. The market for these would not be limited to young, single, just out of college folks on a low budget. Plenty of people could benefit from decent, extremely cheap micro housing. I imagine you could fill empty warehouse space in North Dakota with these right now, and find plenty of eager takers, provided you could keep them warm enough in the winter. If these could be mass produced, transported, dropped, and plugged in, there are all kinds of transitory housing/boomtown situations they could address.

I still wouldn't want to raise four kids in one though.

Yes, you might think you could do that but North Dakota has no empty wareshouse space where it needs housing, afordable or otherwise. Well insulated, self contained units like this but larger are being used here, though. They are called man camps. While a practical solution to a temporary problem, city and county fathers strongly oppose them.

Kind of like the FEMA trailers after Katrina?
