Personally...I'd go with 6 months. That seems, to me, like a fair period of time to decide what the hell you're going to do with your life.
Certainly no longer than 1 year. After a year, it's no longer temporary shelter. It's...
home.
All of that aside...the trailers are emitting toxic gas. That is unacceptable. For
long term housing. I do not have the fact. Nor do I have the figues. And even if I did...I wouldn't know how to extrapolate them. I doubt, however, that short term (read 6 months) of exposure is going to cause long term damage. So...
My home has been destroyed.
I've lost everything that I own.
FEMA comes by (sooner or later) with a travel trailer for me to hang out in.
Said trailer emits toxic formaldahyde gas.
But...it still keeps the rain off of my head.
However...the longer that I stay, the sicker that I am likely to get.
If I wasn't motivated to get out and move on before...I am now.
Perhaps...we could look at it as a form of ensurance of promoting self sufficiency.
Normally, I'm very moderate to slightly liberal. The welfare state is one issue, however, where I make Ustwo look like like a Hillary in '08 supporter. I am all for providing help and assitance where and when it is needed. I draw the line at providing a lifestyle.
