True, though I feel like this kind of "cheap and easy to build housing" is exactly the kind of thing that appeals to the near-sighted 'real-estate developers' of today.
Why spend so much time and money building a duplex, when you can plop some shipping containers on a lot and start leaching in a fraction of the time and with a fraction of the investment?
A tall apartment complex is way more tenants for not much more land though, so it doesn't even work for that.
