Great post.

So the "earthship" aspect of this thing harvesting it's own water is very nice but that aspect of it really works best in "bungalow" mode. The more you stack these containers - which must be the preferred urban configuration to minimize land use - the less roof-area per occupant you have.

I'm going to have to dig around for some other sustainable/low cost/low impact ideas for water collection and treatment for higher population densities.
