I wouldn't want them in my "back yard" either, especially since there are 2000 sex offenders among them...
When we screamed "SEND TRAILERS!" we didn't mean to our immediate vicinity.
I saw one TV spot a couple weeks ago, where the spokesman was saying that they didn't want FEMA trailors and that they had another source for them. I immediately wonder which relative of his was set to provide them.
If you would like on or off the Louisiana Ping list please FReepmail me and your name will be added or taken off of the list.
Buahahahahaha! So, Dianne, do you get a perp sheet on everyone who moves into every house or apartment in your neighborhood?
Well considering trailer houses drop property values near where they are parked and the trailer houses may violate local Housing Covenants/Agreements, I can see that the homeowners have a leg to stand on this issue.
The people who are months later still living off of the gubmint teet are not going to make any neighborhood better.
Whatever happened to pulling yourself up and taking care of your own problems?
I'll tell ya what....those people in LA are a problem from what I can see....
I don't see any of them working a full 8-5 job; I don't see any of them paying their bills, they cry when the Gov. said you got so many days to find somewhere else to live, we're cutting off the flow of monies....
What do they expect, lay around all day and drink beer and eat snacks and watch t.v. and get paid for it???? Don't think life works that way, does it????
I think its time for the people to stop the flow of monies into that area and tell the Gov and Mayor find your people jobs there and start paying them from your own budget...and fix your state and city up yourself....a little goes along ways....
All I can add is, not within twenty miles of my backyard.
Besides, wherever those trailers end up, they'll be there FOREVER (or until they decay into corroded scraps of metal).
Maybe they can park the trailers next to nuclear power plants and wind farms.
There is a feeling among many in the New Orleans business community of "not again". They don't want New Orleans to return to what it once was, and I can't say I disagree with them. They have a chance to rebuild the city to be the crown jewel of the South, as it was during antebellum times.
The truth is, this is not like the FEMA trailers here, where they give you a trailer and you place it on your property. From what my cousin has told me, FEMA wants to set up these big trailer park like complexes in areas of the city that were not devasted, basically, housing projects but with trailers, and rightfully so, the residents are opposing this with every bone in their body. Much of what made New Orleans a grand city and a fun city has been preserved, areas built before 1900 fared pretty well, and thats what gave the city it's character anyway.
