IN PURSUIT OF LESS COSTLY CONSTRUCTION AND REUSE OF RESOURCES I WAS VERY INTERESTED IN A NEWS STORY I SAW ON BBC TELEVISION. IT DESCRIBED A PROJECT IN ENGLAND TO USE OCEANGOING SHIPPING CONTAINERS AS HOUSING UNITS. IT ALSO SEEMS THAT UNUSED CONTAINERS IS A ONGOING ISSUE AT MAJOR PORTS. THIS SEEMS LIKE A APPROACH THAT WOULD BE VERY ADAPTABLE IN THE PORTLAND METRO AREA.
ARE YOU AWARE OF ANY PROGRAMS OF THIS TYPE AND IF THEY HAVE SURVIVED LEGAL AND ZONING CHALLENGES?
