Shipping containers are a bad idea because 1) you need to cut holes for doors/windows and that destroys the stack ability, 2) any shipping container old enough to not be resellable (and therefore costly) is not in a good condition to make a house out of, 3) you still need a foundation and pipes/power so you’re not saving that much money compared to a wood frame, and 4) steel sucks at insulation like you said (not to mention shipping containers don’t have eaves).

You know, we could make them even cheaper by cramming them so close they share walls and then stacking them on top of each other. And because they’re all together, we can call them apartments.

Put this thing in a VM and then let a scammer remote into it, see what he does.

Trying new stuff is great - when you choose it. Random surprise tweaks that you’re forced to spend a while figuring out how to revert are pure fucking evil and everyone knows it.

What’s especially terrible is when people change stuff for the worse, then remove the old better option.
