Dec 10, 2007 -- Invasion of the PODs

There's a new recipient of the old "car on blocks" award. You know the saying, "Stay away from neighborhoods that have cars on blocks," right? Portable on-demand storage (PODs) units are getting that kind of stigma now. Instead of you going to storage, you bring the storage to your front yard with a pod. Leaving one on your property for too long is a sure way to drive your neighbors crazy. The Washington Post reports that there's now a big backlash over the prevalence of PODs. You'll see them invading neighborhoods of all price points, in addition to construction sites. And these things aren't cheap, either; they can cost nearly $400/month to rent! So townships are getting ordinances passed to restrict or to require permits to have PODs on your property. The original concept with PODs was that you loaded them up and moved to another place or had them stored elsewhere. It's a more recent phenomenon that they've become at-home storage units! Clark's wife would kill him if he got a POD at their house.

  • pods moving companies
    Check out http://www.doortodoor.com as a cheaper alternative to PODs. Smaller pods but more flexibility and cheaper. They provide storage pods in GA as well.
  • Lowest Cost POD storage service
    Dear Clark:

    Would you please send me, or direct me to a website where I might find the LOWEST cost POD storage unit service in Atlanta, GA (Woodstock, Canton, Kennesaw) area?

    I will need to store my stuff for at least 4 years or more, or until I can have a family member do a yard sale while I am overseas.

    Thanks in advance!

    Sincerely,
    Needing to Save on Storage
