You mean disruption like: "park" a large number of trailers in cities, containing small office rooms, small apartments, hotel rooms, rows of lockers...whatever.

You mean disruption like: "park" a large number of trailers in cities, containing small office rooms, small apartments, hotel rooms, rows of lockers...whatever. Then rent out those and undercut other market participants which actually need to pay for the buildings and properties in which they operate, while you just "park" your relatively-cheap custom trailers in areas where this is free of charge.
- pjc50 7y agoNot that many places near a city you can park a trailer free of charge - and if there were, you can bet this scheme would accelerate charging for them. I suppose the next phase would be electric self-driving vehicles, circulating endlessly on the roads while the occupants sleep or study. That would probably force the city to implement tiered congestion pricing to force them out.
- treerock 7y agoI've seen advertising boards on trailers parked by the side of roads in public parking spaces. Angled to face into the traffic, so probably not parked temporarily.
- eitland 7y agoIf they already have the parking capacity and use it for rental cars and then realize people just want to sit in box I don’t see anything particularly bad about buying cheaper, more practical boxes for that purpose instead of buying more expensive impractical boxes?
- logfromblammo 7y agoHow is this different from food trucks? Building based businesses serve the baseline demand, and mobile businesses serve the surging and peaking demand. They are in competition, but neither can capture 100% of the other's market share, because they are not perfect substitutes for each other.
