I can. We can.

According to Anna Kode of New York Times and her article,The Typical American Renter Is Now Rent-Burdened, a Report SaysMoody’s Analytics finds that renters in the U.S. now pay 30 percent of the median income for the average rent.

"The typical American renter is now rent-burdened — meaning that 30 percent of the median U.S. income is required to pay the average rent, according to a new report from Moody’s Analytics.

“This 30 percent is a symbolic threshold, a milestone,” said Thomas LaSalvia, the director of economic research at Moody’s.

Reaching this threshold puts typical American renters — who earn the median income and pay the average rent — where they have never been before, Mr. LaSalvia said. (According to the Pew Research Center, about 36 percent of American households rented, rather than owned, their homes in 2019, the last year that reliable data was available from the Census Bureau.) Moody’s first started tracking the metric in 1999, when the typical rent-to-income ratio was 22.5 percent.

“The rent-to-income ratio continued to climb up because income growth was not able to catch up with the rent growth,” said Lu Chen, a senior economist at Moody’s Analytics.

The United States Department of Housing and Urban Development has defined rent-burdened families as those who spend more than 30 percent of their household income on housing and “may have difficulty affording necessities such as food, clothing, transportation, and medical care.”

“The places where you saw the biggest decline in rent are now seeing the biggest increase in rents,” Ms. Chen said.

Residents in some cities are more rent burdened than others. In New York, for example, the rent-to-income ratio in 2022 was 68.5 percent, the Moody’s report found. It was followed by Miami at 41.6 percent, Fort Lauderdale at 36.7 percent and Los Angeles at 35.6 percent."

Today, housing is not affordable and accessible to vast majority of americans and people around the world. We're tackling the problem to make housing affordable and ownership accessible to even an entry-level dishwasher in America. 

We repurpose shipping containers to design  housing that's affordable, sustainable and beautiful. 

Our design team is busy at work. Currently we've figured out how to use shipping containers to design for brick & mortar businesses and make it affordable, accessible, sustainable and beautiful.

Here is video of our F&B concept we're rolling out as stand alone business or  food and beverage outlet, retail store or art gallery for example can be parked at a hotel or a local business. Curranty, we're inspiring communities to eat local and shop local.

Here is a demo of our product. Video here

We will make home ownership affordable and accessible for all. The lower income level population will be able to afford our container homes. Rather than paying high rents, they'll be able to afford a home - even as I said, a entry-level dishwasher in America can break free from the chains of renting for years or their whole lives.

We are working to bring the cost of container home down as low as possible. It will definitely be within the reach of lowest earning members of our community.

I have partnered with one of the best shipping container fabricators in US, Roxbox Containers based in Houston, TX and together, we're designing the affordable, sustainable and beautifully designed container homes.

We have currently designed and are launching these container restaurants & bars now for hoteliers. We're taking our learnings from this and now working towards bringing container homes costs down so everyone can afford them.

We are launching the container business concept for local restaurants, bars, retail shops and art galleries / small local businesses by parking the container retail/restaurant in hotels and motels' parking lots. We are in process of parking our first two containers at a local hotel in Corpus Christi, TX. Our design team is designing the most affordable, sustainable and beautiful container homes at the moment.

Solve will help me surround myself with this community to raise awareness for our company,, our mission and be a part of this wonderful community whose values are aligned with ours. WE invest 1% of our earnings in one or more of the UN 17 Global Goals.

I dream of utilizing shipping containers to solve real world problems an democratize entrepreneurship and housing in US and around the world, making it affordable, accessible and sustainable. 

My dream is to utilize shipping containers to design and build an affordable home a entry-level dishwasher in America or anywhere in the world can afford. My dream is also to enable a small local entrepreneur anywhere in US and around the world to start their brick & mortar business and make it accessible and affordable. 

I am working to realize these dreams and bring them into reality.

The Dream

Let's dream as one.
Food
Health
Prosperity
in the homes of all.
Love
Peace
Unity
in the hearts of all.

My impact goals:

1. Design and Build an affordable housing solution using shipping containers and modular construction that a dishwasher in America or anywhere in the world can afford within next year.

2  Build a tech-enabled marketplace for modular spaces that's beautiful, affordable and sustainable (shipping containers, steel frame construction, etc.) while serving the people, planet and profits

My company, 9th House is designing with shipping containers for restaurants and bars and we park them at a local hotel/motel and inspire guests and locals to eat local, shop local and buy local.

We measure progress by how beautiful, sustainable and affordable our container home are and will we be able to scale it and make them hip cool and sexy that people will desire and want to live in a container home.

Simply put, we will measure the progress towards our goal by how many people can stop renting and buy / afford their own home.

It's all about the economics and the more beautiful, sustainable and affordable, the more hip, cool and sexy the container home is, the more successful we'll be with selling them. 

We will have a massive impact on the problem  because we are designing the most beautiful, sustainable and affordable container homes.

We are building a tech-enabled marketplace and a platform for spaces, especially our most affordable container home along with a mobile app where they can design their container home. We're exploring application of AI technologies in design and fabrication of the containers to further reduce costs and make the home smart, sustainable and beautiful.

We pledge to invest 1% of our earnings from this business into one or more of the 17 Global Goals.

We are working with US-based manufacturers  and sourcing products and services from minority and women owned / diverse businesses and sourcing products from US manufacturers as much as possible.

We provide modular spaces utilizing shipping containers to make spaces affordable, sustainable and beautiful.

We take the modern day 'Legos' of modular spaces, shipping containers and use them for designing affordable housing for one, but its applications are endless in terms of making spaces for live, work and play that's affordable, sustainable and beautiful.

We are working to build a tech-enabled platform and a marketplace where one can purchase design-build of modular spaces using shipping containers. The platform will reside at www.spaceez.com.

We are currently applying for SBA Loan and have partnered with a shipping container fabricator to design the container home and business. We've launched with a container food & beverage outlet that can be parked at a hotel/ motel and small businesses can set up shop. This business was launched two weeks ago and we have 90 leads from hotel developers who want to provide their space to the local small businesses. We're revenue generating and are now looking to leverage technology to scale our operations and work.

We are also actively fundraising with our network.

We have 90 leads for our container restaurant/bar concept and retail space. Next we're tackling affordable housing. I have raised $150K from chairman of 14th largest A&D firm in North America, Ware Malcomb and finest hospitality design firm, AvroKO.
