All these attempts to make inexpensive, affordable housing like this completely ignore the fact that it's not the house itself that's so expensive. It's the land.

these require much less land than a detached single family home....

what do you mean "apartment block"?

True, though I feel like this kind of "cheap and easy to build housing" is exactly the kind of thing that appeals to the near-sighted 'real-estate developers' of today.

Why spend so much time and money building a duplex, when you can plop some shipping containers on a lot and start leaching in a fraction of the time and with a fraction of the investment?

A tall apartment complex is way more tenants for not much more land though, so it doesn't even work for that.
