Be honest and why /diy/

Im sure there must be some reason it wouldnt work other than floods or safety but I've always thought the idea of burying a trailer or shed ubderground and having a hatch on the roof to get in and out would be pretty sick

Weight of the dirt pushing onto the walls from the side is too much to bear unless you build something way more tough than a shed. That's usually what fucks these up.
It is a cool idea though. I would also like an underground space, were it feasible.

Manufactured homes from factories were amazing but the zoning laws are so cucked in the USA that it's physically impossible to comply with them.

Containers will always be the best.
For like 2k delivered you just immediately have the bare essentials for occupancy.
4 walls, a roof, a floor, rodent and wind elimination.
Depending on the situation, you can just set up a cot and immediately start living in it as you build the rest. It's harder to build one out, often requiring a welder and expensive ish materials, but the value is the immediate structure.

Hyper/superadobe dome.
-Large amount of thermal mass
-Exceptional noise insulation
-Exceptional at resisting the elements
-Cheap
-Fast
-Local
-Comparatively clean & low noise process

The ugly part is air circulation and just how many problems cutting into it brings in.

stair case storage.
more distance from neighbors.

That's the thing, the smaller the space no matter what, you are always going to have a much reduced natural anything.
So it more becomes that unless you live in like the perfect most climate, you will always have to micromanage your living space with various equipment, humidifier, dehumidifiers mostly, ac, heat, air intake and exhaust fans.
If your square footage is less than 200, you absolutely need forced air circulation and you just have to deal with full climate correction.
Like there is not enough air volume inside to disapate your humid breath and co2 production, you have to force it.
Sure containers amplify the need at first but whatever.

Yes, cutting into it requires a welder. I did a door in mine and it wasn't that bad just stitch weld a steel frame in and caulk over it with window weld. Kinda the same way with windows or anything else really, either weld in and seal properly or for wiring pass through, glue on a junction box and do the pass through with at most 2in holes

I love those

No clear criteria for "adobe" clay, too soft to bond with steel or FRP reinforcement, huge mass creates huge seismic forces, subject to vermin tunnels, stinks, not water resistant
