$600K sounds like an average lot price in San Jose.

I just had a brand new 10x12 Tuff Shed with 2 windows put in. It’s pretty and would make a nice tiny home. My handyman is going to run electricity to it. I’ve spent $4800. If I wanted to add a kitchenette and a marine porta party plus insulation, etc I could probably up it another $6-700. My 2000 sq ft house is not even worth $600k. Sheesh!

I lived in half a 8’x40’ cargo container for almost a year when I was at Camp Lemonnier in Djibouti. They must have had 50 units set up like this for senior NCOs and junior officers. Private bath, A/C, cable, microwave, and coffee maker. All the necessities and easy to keep clean.

Why these would these cost $600K-— well it is California. Got to have more money for the illegals.

$600,000 for a recycled shipping container? Someone is making a fortune off of that taxpayer funded deal. I wonder who?

Good enough for troops in 3rd-world crapholes.

Good enough for them.

Hope a rainstorm doesn’t wash their crap & garbage (there IS a difference) into river.

I can’t help comparing this to how to go about catching a skunk with a food container/trap.

Then load the containers onto a container ship bound for Caracas.

600K buys a lot of house in most places.
