Yeah, when you look at how slums are usually built, it's hard not seeing containers making things any worse.

Drop a bunch of old containers into a tent city and all of a sudden it's much harder for the authorities to bulldoze.

To be clear: you're suggesting this is an improvement -- bulldozer-proof slums afford utility to the residents?

(I'd tend to agree.)

Oh yes, certainly, thought that was clear.
