Theres nothing cyberpunk about this, you're just living in a container.

I realize it's not typical fare, but something about the cookie cutter design and the stark paved surroundings said "high tech, low life" to me.

Seems like a less technological take on the capsule hotel concept like the New Rose Hotel in the eponymous short story by William Gibson. You'd have to add some high tech though. Have a punk steal electricity from a nearby building to power a cyberspace deck so he can escape the mundanity of his container coffin box.
