I want one!

From Grok:

1. Are these only feasible

in warm climates? Can they be winterized, do you know?

6. I'm sure that there is a lot more to it

But it beats having favelas, shantytowns or Hoovervilles to meet the US demand for housing. Particularly if TFG sinks the economy, and/or AI kills too many jobs.

2. Sounds like a good deal, especially if one has a decent place to put it.

3. Septic, water, driveway, foundation.

no room to practice trinket capitalism.

4. Zoning

Highly doubt if many places would allow that, although it’s a great idea.

5. It also has little upside potential

7. China is ALWAYS ahead of the curve....

they know that Americans won’t Be able to afford rent or mortgages when TACO crashes the economy,

Solution- Since there are no building regulations or codes because TACO closed everything except for ICE !

China will sell these to factories, farms , and investors to “ House” the NOW broke / homeless Americans to work for Room and Board. Slavery is looking at all of us.

9. That's exactly my thinking

Might see a lot of fast developments, like tiny home Levittowns, to house more people when homelessness skyrockets.

10. Exactly and stack them up like dominoes

8. It looks more like a fancy mobile home

That might be something someone who want to live off-the-grid could use. They could hook it up to a small septic tank, install solar panels, and use rain barrels with a UV filtration system for water.
