Texas officials say no to people living in cargo containers
By Aman Batheja
FORT WORTH — A proposal to convert shipping containers into low-income homes drew negative reactions from city leaders Tuesday.
Mayor Mike Moncrief and some City Council members said they do not like a plan by A Place to Sleep, a Tarrant County-based nonprofit, to create homes from steel cargo boxes that measure 48 feet long and 8.5 feet wide.
"It's not going to attract anything around it except problems," Moncrief said during a briefing by city staff.
