Classic case -- government provides "free" housing on a temporary basis, people don't move out and have no incentive to become independent, they won't move out of the area to find work, and then they complain that the government isn't doing enough to protect them from the imminent hurricane. Crime and drugs are rampant in the government-run housing project. A perfect microcosm of the ills of socialism and a superb illustration of why people need to look after themselves and not depend on government.

The bright spot in this article is that FEMA is saying evacuation is a local responsibility and that the residents in this government housing project will not get any special or preferential treatment.

And it sounds like FEMA is doing its part, warning residents to "put chairs and barbecue grills inside." That'll really do the trick when those mobile homes are ground up to toothpicks.
