exactly what part of this is a rant?
what part of it is untrue?
1. FEMA (we tax payers) give away FREE trailers with FREE parking to people who knowing live on the coast without flood insurance. When I lived in FL I had flood insurance.
2. The trailer has a "new car" smell. Don't people know how to open windows to let the trailer air out.
3. After a year of living rent free the "tenants" are "required" to move out of the the "temporary" housing.
4. But no, if the trailer is "defective" I should get a extra year in a real Motel with maid service and free meals.
5. A FREE gift always has more defects that one I work and paid for.

For clarity:
1)Temporary housing is part of FEMA's framework when dealing with a disaster. The MH's are not GIVEN to anyone, they are leased to the occupant, utilities not included. They are owned by the Federal Gov't and used to house taxpayers that are in need of housing so that their community continues to function, people can work, and taxes still roll into the coffers.
2)Fumes from certain chemicals may remain above a hazardous level even if a window is opened.
3)The lease exists for 18 mo. from the declaration for use, AFAIK.
4)I'm not familiar with this. Could this be an individual case or is this solution for anyone that doesn't like their temp housing? I'm thinking the former.
5)This is sometimes true but temporary housing during disaster recovery is not a gift, it is aid by our Gov't for those that have been forced out of their homes. In this same thinking, the roads you travel on could be considered a "gift" because they are built and maintained with Federal aid.
Hope this helps.
