what to DO ?!

They're trying to figure out what to DO with 10,000 FEMA trailers?!

I'd imagine the residents of Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana and Texas would have a suggestion ... or 10,000. 10,777 to be exact. Fully-furnished ready-manufactured housing, which FEMA says it can't move because there's a rule against putting manufactured housing ... wait for it ... on a flood plain.

You've GOT to be kidding me.

For whatever reason, including "the simple fact of not wanting hurricane evacuees in your backyard." Well, sure, 'cause having 10,777 TRAILERS is so much more appealing.

Honestly. People. This isn't rocket science. I'll readily admit that a lot of city planning, and crisis management, and civic policy, etc., is far beyond my understanding -- or my desire to understand.

But. COME. ON. PEOPLE.

Thousands of homes destroyed in four states. Tens of thousands of people without homes, or resources. And ten thousand ready-to-live-in-this-minute trailers ...

are.
sitting.
there.
