Shipping containers are what one mayor is proposing in New Jersey as the solution to curb homelessness.

This city is attempting to end homelessness with houses made out of shipping containers

Hope Village is the part of a larger plan under Mayor Ras Baraka’s plan to end homelessness in Newark, N.J., within three years.

If the units & construction are safe, I would live in a shipping container house. There are some nice ones currently in use:

I am not against living in one for a while. I don't think I would want to permanently stay in one, but it would be something respectable for me until I get my dream house. It most certainly beats living in a car. This is assuming they are safe as you said.

What I saw in that video looks very respectable in terms of housing. I would definitely give one a chance.
