Some folks have hearts, and some are heartless.

Thanks for the uncalled for remarks..I have three family members in LA one in Mandeville while alive suffered a fair amount of damage to their house, one in Slidell who escaped damage and a third who lost everything, their house, car and furniture and had to rent an RV to live in. None are what you would call well off. Charity begins at home...my heart still goes out to all.

As for large amoounts of displaced persons needing massive shelters, if we have room for them fine, thats up to our charities and government officials to make that determination. the only place I can think of would be unused military bases.

No arenas? No convention centers? No closed retail stores/malls?

All of which are being used in other areas.

It isn't a question of cost - most of that will be spread among all of the federal taxpayers. It is solely a matter of heart.

A few years ago K-Mart closed over a hundred stores. I'll bet you have one nearby. San Antonio is putting several hundred people in an old closed K-Mart store.
