The unmitigated gall of these people is beyond belief!!! They demand that the rest of the country pony up to pay for the historic screw-up and when the gov't does try to help they stand in the way because they don't want FEMA trailers in cuty parks??? Someone needs to take these a-holes to the woodshed, very loudly and very publicly.
"they stand in the way because they don't want FEMA trailers in cuty parks???"
That's kind of where tourists hang out. Tourists bring money to NO, or at least they used to. New Orleans will never recover without that income. It's not the trailers themselves, I'll bet, but the people who would be residing in those trailers. Prior to Katrina, there were places you just did not go in New Orleans if you valued your life. The people that would be placed in these parks come from those places. I used to go to New Orleans all the time. I live 150 miles from there. Planting a trailer park full of God-knows-who in the places tourists usually go does not make me want to go back, not in the least.
This is a no-win situation.
