--Arizona's Border Boondoggle can be your Backyard Bungalow

[Blunderbuss Firozabad]

"Arizona is looking to sell off thousands of shipping containers months after they were dismantled at the U.S.-Mexico border.

More than 2,000 containers are up for sale until Sept. 30 for government and nonprofit entities.

The public will have a chance to buy one if there is leftover inventory in October."

" Crews began erecting the double-stacked containers back in August 2022 in order to fill in gaps in the wall near Yuma and in Cochise County.

The makeshift barriers were meant to be a temporary measure until the Biden administration took action to start permanent construction at border, according to former governor Doug Ducey."

"In Yuma, all 130 of the containers covering about 3,800 feet were removed in January."

About a third of some 3,000 containers were erected there... "

" The Arizona Dept. of Administration says the 20- and 40-foot containers range in price from $500 to $2,000. They have some wear and tear, but are otherwise "very functional," officials said."




There you go. Get two containers and make a house.

In the Philippines, they convert these containers into nice houses. I'd buy an island and live in one of these containers.

I can get these for about $3,000 Canadian and not have to worry about shipping them up from the US border. The smart thing would be to secure them and turn them into affordable housing down there.

I'm surprised Biden hasn't turned them into immigrant housing.

Off the top of your head @thuumpr, in the last 50 years, under which administration would you guess border-crossings declined precipitously, the lowest they have been since 1970, and stayed that way the entire administration? You've got 10 prezzies to pick from.

Man why can't my state ever appear on DD for amusing or at least not completely fucking idiotic reasons?? $200 for a janky shipping container on the border.. Why are they even bothering? Just light the fuckin things on fire.

Have you lived anywhere hot and extremely humid in the summer? I don't mention it being a dry heat. I do like to ask, are we there yet?

@thuumpr
I have no idea how or who tabulated that chart.

I use Pew which is viewed as an unbiased research organization.

It's not scientific, so I won't bother with my observations about when I've seen the increase here in Tucson. First person anecdotes are just that-- 1 view.

Here's one thing...

lol why do you say that?

As first posts go, that's very ambiguous. I have no idea where you stand.

Well done!
You need to start working for a polling/survey company.
