The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/story\/money\/business\/2015\/02\/26\/shipping-container-apartments\/24076583\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">revolutionary plan<\/a> provides shipping containers which will be modified to be new age apartments. \u201cThis is starting to be done all over the world,\u201d said Forest City President Phil Dargossi. \u201cWe can make these affordable and sustainable. Plus they are unique, which ultimately is something we love in Stapleton.\u201d\n<!--more-->\nThe shipping container concept won\u2019t be completely unique. \u201cIt is being tested in other places,\u201d said Dargossi. \u201cAnd I\u2019ll assume quite successfully.\u201d These new and unique <a href=\"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/posts\/forest-city-on-affordable-housing-you-were-serious-about-that\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">affordable homes<\/a> will be located in one of the new, yet to be named neighborhoods north of 56th Ave. \u201cWe haven\u2019t decided exactly where and when the project will be started,\u201d said Dargossi. \u201cHowever, I do hope that our latest promise will quiet our cynics up. I mean, we eventually are getting to the <a href=\"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/posts\/forest-citys-ultimatum-on-town-center-soopers-or-low-income-adobe-units\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Eastbridge Town Center<\/a>, right?

Or sometimes. <a href=\"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/posts\/26th-ave-park-completed-to-forrest-city%E2%80%99s-satisfaction\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sometimes we come through<\/a>.\u201d\nResidents are not quite sure what to think of the new concept. \u201cReally? Shipping containers?\u201d asked resident Jim Stevens. \u201cNot sure who is going to want to say they live in the converted shipping containers over on the north side.\u201d Erin Penningroth agrees. \u201cI don\u2019t know if anything says low income housing like a shipping container,\u201d said Penningroth. \u201cThis seems like something that should be done in third world countries, not Stapleton.\u201d Dargossi admits it is something that is being tried in third world countries, but feels it is still a fit for Stapleton. \u201cMaybe it is not exactly <a href=\"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/posts\/archeologists-uncover-missing-pages-of-green-book\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">green book<\/a>, blue book, or whatever,\u201d said Dargossi. \u201cBut, the truth is, we can fit a lot of these things in a small area, which will really help us catch up on our original affordable housing promises.\u201d For those of you looking for affordable housing in Stapleton, looks like your ship&#8217;s finally coming in.]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\t\t\t\t<![CDATA[]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[26],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-6060","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-issue-118","7":"entry"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6060","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=6060"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6060\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=6060"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=6060"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=6060"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
