Kinda looks like a Matson container.

About the size of my brother -in-laws townhouse in Waipio.

But his unit cost twice as much when he bought it back in the '80s.

Now worth about 500K.  I shouldn't say worth.  That Crackerbox is not worth it.

Our illustrious Democrat elite leaders say it is cheaper and easier to convert a shipping container into a housing unit. NO. A shipping container was never designed to be lived in https://www.livinginacontainer.com/shipping-container-home-cost/

20' x 20' starting at $60K


The average installed cost of a 40x60 metal building is $57,600 to $91,200.
This includes an average cost for the steel building kit package at $40,800, the concrete slab foundation at $14,400, and construction at $18,000.
Your budget should also consider doors, windows, and insulation if necessary

Gotta disagree on this one.
  I personally have helped build/remodel several Container homes, including a double wide and they are very "adaptable" and easy to work on.
A couple years back my sister and SO'  went to Africa with their church to build a cheap housing village.
They used containers which they completely renovated and were back within a month.

If that is so, why don't we see more of these container homes in Hawaii?

What about this Volferda prebuilt homes from China?

Our friends down the road, here in Puna, has a double wide container home.  The inside is very nice.  I wouldn't mind at all living there.

This is interesting.
I own all three types of housing discussed here;
Standard stick wood,
Container,
and Metal workshop
All are permitted!
But I'm on the Big Island,
every county is different.
My opinion is
you need cesspool/septic, catchment water/reliable water source
and some source of electricity.
all the rest doesn't mean much.`
I'm kind of simple,  all my stuff exceeds codes
and is not a goldmine.
Pretty plain,  my home is a place to live.
