I have been posting on shipping container homes for some time now and in my comments and feedback I get many who think this is just another flash in the pan.  That they will never make mainstream homes.  Well, in my searches today I came upon this recent article in USA Today through a post over at Materialicious. 

It does my heart a lot of good to see these homes getting this kind of press. I personally feel it a strong and viable form of architecture that we will see a lot more of.  That, and it also is using a very abundant and CHEAP resource that is available to us all throughout the country.  You can’t beat that!  I can guarantee you that my next home will be made from shipping containers.
