They're certainly not for long-term livingI think they are supposed to last longer than a year, though. Animals don't trash trash their homes. Someone ought to round these folks up and put them all together in a mile deep concrete pit and study them.

Send them each a bill. If they don't pay it withhold their Federal tax refunds, take their wages, the IRS knows how to handle these things.

What wages?
What tax refunds? Gotta pay taxes to get a refund.
More apropos-withhold their assortment of government aid checks. Apparently that is why many of them refused to leave New Orleans-big government sugar daddy check day was on Tuesday.

Jacks said residents need to understand that vandalizing or removing the trailers could violate their written agreements with FEMA.Could violate their written agreements? Are there some written agreements that allow removal or vandalizing of FEMA trailers?
I'm sure the perps are really frightened by their potential violation of a written agreement with FEMA. OOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHH!

It might be futile, but I've thought more than a few times of locating an auction or clearing house that sells used FEMA trailers.
Naturally I'd buy one in good condition. I wonder what these used trailers wholesale for on the average?
You pics look - obviously - like the before (not after) photos.

Of course this is a tiny fraction of the number of FEMA trailers destroyed by FEMA itself, by dumping them on soft ground in the middle of nowhere and sitting idly by while they warped, leaked, and rotted into unuseability. It's little wonder that many of the Katrina refugees figured it was no big deal to trash their hand-out trailers.

I would hope they last more than a year for $20,000 each. Your tax dollars at work.

One Texas man trucked his to Louisiana and sold it. A few other tenants have hooked them up to vehicles and even taken their trailers to deer leases to have a place to stay while hunting. Thus proving they could make much better use of their trailers than FEMA did with most of its trailer inventory. Why is it a problem for taxpayers (which these individuals sound like, as opposed to perpetually drunk/high/unemployed elfare addicts) to tow a trailer to a deer lease and LIVE in it (you know, the intended use), or sell it for cash which was likely used towards paying for alternative living quarters or home repairs, while FEMA simply destroyed many thousands of trailers without even briefly putting them to anythong remotely resembling their intended use?
