That was my thought. Our people can go into areas like the tsunami hit area and help rebuild so what's the problem?
I can understand tho that long term people need a place to live in order to work and I also think that housing should be given first to those who would work instead of to:
"According to its policies, only individuals, families and those receiving public housing could qualify for trailers. "
So people on welfare get housing before the WORKERS who are there to rebuild do? That doesn't make sense does it?
Can we say bureaucratic red tape. Since the flood waters weren't toxic like they proclaimed and the city dried out much sooner than predicted why can't people be allowed to park the FEMA trailers on their own property? I mean that way people can have a place to live while they are rebuilding the city. OH wait that would make sense and lord knows that we can't have that./roll eyes
Also in regards to the businesses in the article, haven't you heard of man camps? If it is imperative that you get back to business ASAP then get creative in providing housing for your workers in order to get things running again.
I live in SWLA where Rita whacked us good and have heard that it will be 2 years before they will allow people to rebuild in Holly Beach because of the toxicity? It's sandy and not very big what's the deal there? It was just camps, a bunch of hole in the wall bars and a couple of stores. Everything is gone. People want to rebuild and get their lives back to normal but the PTB are hindering the process.
