I don't plan to build here yet, it's inaf big players here cityselfstorage, boxgard, shurgard, minilager, pelican self storage and few more.

Thanks @ Suzanne Player!

I think automation of home building technology (many off-site 3D printing players, some on site automation tech for construction of tract homes) will be a real factor in the next 3 to 10 years that will be the primary/only saving grace to actually make housing more affordable (easiest way to meaningfully decrease build costs).
