PowerHouses and PowerPods

We’d love to find a town or city very much like Portsmouth, NH, but inland. Say, Western MA or Eastern NYS. Any ideas?

Shipping Container Condo in Utah

If you know me, you know I’m a big fan of shipping container homes. Via Grassroots Modern:

a seven story condo made of orange shipping containers dubbed “City Center Lofts” is planned for construction in downtown Salt Lake City.
