I noticed this news article and was amazed by the attached photograph, row after row after row of trailers. Apparently that many brand new trailers in one place is toxic and they are tearing these down. I could not find a higher resolution photo... Once again I suspect neither political party wants wide spread discussion of the implications of Katrina or how they are being managed.

Nearly three years after the Hurricane Katrina made thousands of victims, leaving thousands others without houses, the Federal Emergency Management Agency succeeded to meet its deadline and close all six trailer parks by Sunday, but said it would still take a few more days to move everyone into apartments or motels.

The decision to close the parks came after an investigation of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention between Dec. 21 and Jan. 23 found that formaldehyde fumes from hundreds of trailers and mobile homes were on average about five times what people are exposed to in most modern homes.

Formaldehyde AKA "new car smell."
