    In 2022 there were 650,000 construction companies in the United States. Making millions of houses for people here, but unfortunately, the homelessness of the people is also growing as we are seeing because of the policy of this country. there are 580,000 homeless people in the US and people are suffering their lives being outside in the cold weather with hunger. These people are experiencing more hard times than the people in the jails, at least they have a warm place to sleep and regular food to eat. So if we can make a change in this area to help them for getting there live better again. My idea is to build cheap houses, it doesn't matter if it is from containers or something else, to provide a better life for them also. A new 40-foot container will cost around $5000 to make, so it costs about $3B to complete this project in one year and make a good life for them and reducing the robbing and killing rates in this country.
