As time passes, our most basic need of shelter continues to evolve. This sea can shelter is one of the most well thought out and logical I've seen. One of the issues I see with it though is that it sits on the ground. In a developing country that might not be an issue but in the majority of the "civilized" western world it could be. Few are the places one can drop a sea-can without Government's begrudging approvals, permissions and blessings. If however that box remains on wheels, it can be a different story. As our fools paradise sinks into murkier waters, these methods of finding shelter will mushroom, literally popping up all over the place. Every highway van trailer I see trucking down the road increasingly looks like a prime chunk of real estate. Why not convert a 48' van in a similar way, now you've got lots of sq feet and being able to fold up a fair sized house on wheels and trundle down the road makes sense to me. Living in the northern climes, each winter drives home the fact that we should not be here. The energy to heat our house would move us to warmer lands many times over and leave cash in hand. Each fall I look up at our beautiful Canada Geese flying south, calling us to come with them. We Humans continue to believe we are the superior spiecies of this plannet. I beg to differ. Even those geese, with brains the size of a postage stamp know when it's time to get out of Dodge.
