I have a couple friends in New Orleans (well not in new orleans now but from new orleans originally). They were offered such trailers. The problem isn't in not using the trailers its the fact that the land in new orleans is still contaminated to the point where it is a biohazzard for people toi live on so many of the people who used to live in new orleans has found new homes in surrounding areas like New Iberia, Baton Rouge, and so on. There still are people living in the contaminated areas. They have been offered the trailers with the stipulation that they live on non contaminated land. alot of those still living there chose not to leave New Orleans. for them it was all they knew. But to FEMA's credit they can't legally have people take the trailers and live on contaminated land because somewhere down the road someone may up and have problems resulting to their living on contaminated land and that leaves FEMA open to possible lawsuits. and so if the people of new orleans are not going to use the trailers while new orleans is being cleaned up and rebuilt its time to send those trailers to a place where they can be used.
