I know that shipping containers have long been used in other countries

for housing but now its coming to the US.

Well it came to the U.S. during the Reagan years Quackadillian.

There were whole communities of people living in cardboard boxes in

Chicago, gradually grew up over years of the Reagan administration,

when we were waiting for the trickle of money to come down but instead

of investing in the country's future or creating more jobs, they

bought themselves 3rd and 4th homes, while other people created homes

out of cardboard boxes and other people moved into their cars. Gives

me that 'deja vu' experience to see this project being deveveloped now

during the Bush Administration. It's a trend of trickle down

economics. Supposed to mean that wealth will 'trickle' down but what

it actually happened/happens is wealth for most people will slow down

to a 'trickle'.
