The announcer said they had a number of "luxury" furnished apartments available in the Palm Beach, Florida area (with free transportation) available for anyone willing to relocate.

Yeah, So?

I heard the apartment owners' representative speaking on South Florida radio this week. She was telling other apartment owners in Florida how to get in touch with her so they could form a group of people who wanted to offer their vacant apartments to storm victims TEMPORARILY. It's a PRIVATE sector donation.

Maybe they will even get a big tax write off for doing it, so it might even BENEFIT them which would be government charity in a way.

It's a PRIVATE sector donation. Yeah sure. None of these apartment owners would think of billing FEMA for their "generous" PRIVATE sector donation. What she was really saying is I just found a way to lower the vacancy rate at government (taxpayer) expense.
