You got it!!!!

I forgot what a great success the program was (Heavy Sarcasm).
They got about .07 on the dollar for the resale, but by government standards probably a ‘good deal’ as normally they let stuff just sit and rot or give away and the recipients let ‘the stuff’ sit and rot/rust away....
Didn’t realize some still being utilized (as of 2010).

BTW Has Japan ‘finished’ rebuilding from the typhoon/tsunami? You can pretty much ‘bet your bippy’ it won’t be any 7 or 8 years....

"I forgot what a great success the program was (Heavy Sarcasm).

Actually, the program WAS a great success.....no sarcasm needed. The trailers provided shelter when needed. It wasn't until the green agitators and the ambulance chasing lawsuit lawyers got involved over the (highly exaggerated) formaldehyde "problems" that they started to get a bad name. I'm from Louisiana, and I followed the goings-on during and after Katrina VERY CLOSELY. And the place where most of the trailers were mothballed was about ten miles from where I grew up. And several of the major "temporary trailer parks" using those trailers were about eight miles (different direction).

See above points about "formaldehyde scare" as to why they were perceived as "not fit to live in".

"Didn’t realize some still being utilized (as of 2010)

I'm sure most of them are "still being utilized" by those folks who were bright enough to buy them.
