haha yea but you can get prefabs with walls instead of glass. that was just for reference. But they're perfect for someone who isn't looking for a huge house. buy a plot of land, buy a prefab house, drop it on, and you have quite the dainty little house.
a little imagination and you could go a long way. its actually a very old technique to use blocks and build a house. easy cheap construction. but considering that it was mainly only used to make houses for show it never really struck. there was some kind of show where designers actually built prefabs with "green" intentions for a showcase. But with the previous housing boom it was hard to get a company to build many prefabs because it was easier just to go out and buy one. Ill be the first to admit that some are still quite pricey depending on materials, location, and if you have any knowledge on how to put a house together. its not exactly like legos, you gotta have a place for your crap to go too haha. But with better technology out there now, and better materials to work with, i think this is going to work quite well. Theres a huge niche market out here especially in the NW corner for "green" homes.
heres a pic of a good one.
You can see they're very little, because well they are meant to be cheap and transportable, and you can lug around a 2 story house.
and here you can see it wouldn't be too hard to stack them and build a complete modern looking house.

Future of living - The storage unit "conex" home
For $300 a month, I would do it, 
Ive only been intrested in it because i see a great business proposition in it. I visited this small production plant called solar sun last week which is making solar panels that you can just roll out on your roof and plug in instead of the panels and metal frames. Anyone in he NW will know that the rich hippies up here throw money away just to be "green"
