The Association of College and University Housing Officers–International (ACUHO-I) sponsors the 21st Century Project, an effort to design modular student residences for university campuses.
See http://www.21stcenturyproject.com/home.htm and http://chronicle.com/daily/2007/01/2007012903n.htm for more details.
Some of these designs use inexpensive fixtures and construction techniques, and can be stacked on each other to create buildings. Other designs use movable walls that let residents partition their living space as needed.
These systems could be applied to our own housing problems in Honolulu.
