It's hard to confuse New York City with New Jersey. Now there's a new point of difference between the two, thanks to the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. New Jersey is accepting temporary housing from FEMA in the form of 400-square-foot mobile homes. New York City is not. The Wall Street Journal reports, New York City officials have not requested FEMA trailers and don't plan to. Mayor Michael Bloomberg remembers formaldehyde in FEMA trailers after Hurricane Katrina. New Jersey officials are looking for vacancies in trailer parks to place the FEMA units.
There's enough foreclosed houses today to house everyone, sadly. We don't need no steenking trailers!
ReplyDeleteIt is need of the time. I feel great that New Jersey authorities realized their responsibility.
