Private residential containers are difficult to create a climate

In London, many container houses have become single apartments; In New York, a "modular home unit" is a 40 foot container; In the Netherlands, containers are used to build dormitories for students. Can this type of container become the savior of the "snail tribe" in Shenzhen? Industry insiders generally believe that private residential containers in Shenzhen are difficult to create a climate.
Manager Zhang of Zhuren Container Company Chuangda told reporters, "If you want to live on your own, you must secure a piece of land because it is not allowed to be placed casually and may be lifted away." However, if an individual wants to rent or buy a container house as an apartment, they must first obtain the right to use a certain piece of land and obtain planning approval from relevant departments, otherwise it will be considered illegal construction. Obtaining land use rights in the name of an individual and obtaining planning approval is currently an almost impossible task.
Because residential containers are not allowed by the government, people can only hide in remote suburbs, or commit themselves to overpasses, or even some construction sites. Manager Chen told reporters that occasional individuals who come to rent containers are also those who open small grocery stores or small shops on the roadside, and have almost no place to live on their own.
