Yes people are still homeless down there. But New orleans was evacuated. Those that are still there chose to return and remain even after being given shelter, hotel rooms, motel rooms, strangers opened up their homes to them and their animals, theres even people here on the west coast from new orleans making new lifes and some attending colleges here.

It's sad that people are living like that and that its taking so long to clean up and rebuild New orleans but those people chose to go back and remain and chose not to use the help offered to them. Fema and other government officials can't force those people to accept the help.

And yes it has to be safe in order for the trailers to be set up in new orleans. Look at the past issues of contaminated land problems - one well known one is the story of Erin Brokovich and contaminated water supply of a whole town, New orleans water supply is now contaminated not through a company but a natural disaster. I don't agree with everything that went on before during and after Katrina but I am glad the people of FEMA are stepping up and trying to see to in that issues like the Erin Brokovich story doesn't happen if they can prevent it. I too wish to see those still living there taken care of - whisked back out of there, given those trailers but USA is a free nation. People have the right to make their own choices. They are choosing to stay even after help was given to leave the area and while more help was offered after they left the area. They made their choice. FEMA let those trailers sit as long as they could waiting for them. and still no takers so its time to send the trailers elsewhere.
