I live in Baton Rouge and for six months we have been surrounded by people wanting the government to give them something. Yes, it is tragic that people lost their homes, lost their livelihoods (if there was one in the first place), and lost everything they owned. I can sympathize with that. But now, six months later and you still have not made an effort to find a new place to live? There is plenty of housing available – it’s just not where you are. If a person wants to stay in a storm-devastated area – an area with little to no infrastucture in place – that’s your perogative, but why should the government be forced to subsidize that choice?
