The shipping container unit is the most beautiful home Marnie Crassweller has ever lived in.



The Vancouver resident has been asked many times what it's like "living in a can," but most of the time, she says, she forgets about it.



"It's got floor-to-ceiling windows, hardwood floors, and butcher block counters," she said. "I look out at the North Shore. I love it."

Crassweller is one of 12 women who live in Canada's first recycled shipping container social housing development.



Established in 2013 by local non-profit Atira Women's Resource Society, B.C. Hydro and other partners, the housing complex sits across from the Port of Vancouver and provides safe, affordable housing for women in the Downtown Eastside.



The units range from 280 to 290 square feet.

Fuck, nicer than Atco trailers.

It's too bad we "can't afford" real affordable housing with all the millions thrown around on condos, but at least it's something.



It is good that these containers are being recycled.

I know of a company in the Peace Country near the BC border that fixed up containers as temporary housing for workers. They didn't look like that though.



As for house prices, they are out of control in Canada. You just happen to live in the heart of the madness. The average detached house here in the Czuk is now over $438,000. My parents bought their first house for $46,000 2 decades ago. Even in places like Nova Sciotia, prices are too high. A correction will eventually come, it will be nation wide and it WILL be painful.

I agree Azhya.

I would live in one of those, for sure! It'd be perfect for 1 person and a cat!

Yes, a studio apartment Annie.

Yep would be perfect for me when I'm old and if I'm alone but I plan on living in one of my kid's basement with 15 cats.
