Speaking of FEMA-—

News recently showed HUNDREDS of FEMW trailers lined up like slices of bread in a pic from above (Drone ?) and the narration was:

Here are FEMA trailers OUTSIDE the city limits of Houston, still NOT being occupied by victims of the Hurricane Harvey months ago.

Houston has an ordinance that states no one can live in a Manufactured home-—a travel trailer—a trailer—or similar.

SOOOO-—Here we are -months from the hurricane damage & the politicians of Houston cannot suspend this ordinance or do a temporary variance to allow the FEMA trailers to be brought in so people can live safely in them while they work to restore their homes.

MOST of the hurricane victims did not have flood insurance, and must do as much of the work themselves or pay out of their own pockets.

Meanwhile——FEMA trailers are sitting idle & American taxpayers are getting the shaft AGAIN.

This is so beyond stupid on the part of the politicians that I cannot even type about it very long.

I sure would like Trump to step in & tell them to get their heads on straight & to help their own constituents.

Also, this week, the Army Corp of Engineers of the USA finally got access into a number of warehouses in Puerto Rico & found thousands of $$$$$$$ in supplies that were sent to PR after heir hurricane. None of these supplies had been distributed. SO-—WHO caused this to happen?????

Media is reluctant to cover this, also.

You’ve brought up a couple of issues here.

First check the Texas Manufactured Housing Standards Act concerning the occupation of manufactured homes.

Second, the reason, according to a few sources, that thousands of dollars of good were stored is because of the incapability to give them out. If you can’t move them inland because you don’t have the ability, and the country doesn’t wish to help itself, then handing out all the supplies to a small area is like giving all the hay to two cows in a pen by themselves when the rest of the herd sits two pasture away starving.
