Doesn't seem right to me.
In the tent city, there are water trucks, vehicles for taking showers, and what looks like a ton of raw materials for more building. Trying to find out what it's for, though, is another story. A nearby resident of the plant had spoken to several of the guards, who swore it was a project of FEMA - the acronym for the Federal Emergency Management Agency. But FEMA spokesman Scott Sanders at first denied that his agency had anything to do with the white tent city.

So, people displaced shouldn't use these services their tax dollars paid for?
Do you want to see them continuing to freeze, go without food, etc?
In the aftermath of Katrina, there were places like this all over, and huge trailer parks.
People were able to carry on, come and go as they pleased with a home base, allowing them some sort of a normal life.
What's your point, because I see this as much needed services to people on the east coast. Honestly.........pffffftttt!

I think they'd put it in an area where it'd be out of the public eye, you know where Billybob can't come by with his plastic disposable kodak camera and take snapshots of an emergency shelter and say "hey guys, this is a FEMA deathcamp"!

I'm real confused about this thread.
This is the type of job FEMA is supposed to do. Temporary shelter for storm victims......
