You guys aren't very conspiracy minded folks. I must remember that. Yes, living in a trailer for three years waiting for something to happen, only to have that something be another hurricane has got to suck. Hopefully this time around, things go a little better. I think that the reality of wether or not it's a good idea to rebuild below sea level New Orleans is clear. If it were a good idea, money would have been flowing in and there would be a whole lot less FEMA trailers this time around.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('135785','vonrock'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('135785','vonrock','Oh sorry, I was trying to read too much into the story.

There are some 3,000 FEMA trailers in use in that area that are gonna be blown away and/or turned into flying bits of stuff rendering the homeless people who were moved into them after the last hurricane homeless again.... that's gotta suck, doesn't it?
