Why not use them to shelter homeless people? Could be a good solution.

That's an interesting solution, though I feel like the cost of transporting these things (they each weigh 18 tons) and retrofitting them as a home might end up costing more than building a shelter from scratch. It's a great concept though, perhaps it's been done before. (I'll do some research)
Yes that's true. However, the cost to transport them to a barge and then take them out to deeper waters must cost a lot too. Also there would be the cost of the asbestos removal.
