It would have cost the tax payers zip, but would have saved the people in the trailers the hassle of removing all their stuff or risk losing it.

The problem in Arkansas was that they bought some right off the assembly line and never checked them when they put them in storage. Some of them had open windows, and other simple things that should have been remedied, but no one checked.

I learned in my 12 years as a trailer owner that many people who have never lived in or owned a trailer have not one clue how they differ from conventional fixed-location housing. Apparently “many people” includes “all FEMA officials.” If you want a trailer to be “unfit to use again,” there’s no surer way than to forbid the trailer’s removal from the path of a major storm. Fools, I tell you; we’re “governed” by fools.
