Living in a converted shipping container was a new concept in the Netherlands when launched by Tempohousing, but the city of Amsterdam took the courageous step to contract Tempohousing to go and realise it. It turned out to be a big success among students in Amsterdam and it is now the second most popular student dormitory offered by the student housing corporation\r\n\r\nThese converted containers are available at £2500 each housing 4 or 2 with a separate room.\r\n\r\nLets, very pessimistically, double it for shipping costs and getting it on site.\r\n\r\nLets add 50% for the related facilities.\r\n\r\n£22.5 million as against £400 million\r\n\r\nThe squaddies should be asked if the Keetwonen facilities are as good as, or better than normal barracks. Parliament should debate whether spending £400 million or £22.5 million is better.","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":1,"created_at":"2011-08-27T15:02:02.000Z","updated_at":"2020-02-16T19:27:09.523Z","rejected_at":"2017-06-21T12:35:11.034Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2011-08-27T15:02:02.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_at":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"rejection":{"code":"duplicate","details":null},"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}}}
