Cans for Condos
9% Unemployment ain't going anywhere anytime soon. The foreclosure disaster will continue well into 2011 and possibly beyond. Millions of people are already homeless and hopeless across America.
I propose a localized model for manufacturing HOMES out of shipping containers (aka in the industry as "Cans"). This is the IKEA version of pre-fabricated homes. Local Vo-Tech educational centers will operate as manufacturing plants as well as training facilities for skilled-trade apprentices. Designs are standardized and open sourced. Prospective owners can gain credit towards their purchase via sweat equity at the plant a la the Habitat for Humanity model or they can even order packaged "Kits" shipped to them and assemble the interiors on-site at their property on their own for the lowest financial investment possible.
To encourage mobility of labor, these units would include standardized (ISO) "hook-ups" that would allow them to be plugged into "Condo Buildings" anywhere they'd like to pick up and move to, just like "PODS" storage containers.
