    This is absolutely insane that any of you on this forum would feel ashamed with the type of home you own.A one person income cannot afford a home in this country anymore.Nobody should put themselves down because of living in a mobile. I make damn good money and you know what I can’t afford a home so I bought a mobile home.

    Mr Ayotte obviously has bno consideration for the working poor in Florida or disabled or the retired on fixed income,shall I continue Mr Ayotte?
    To call these homes debris is an insult at best to half the people that pay your freaking high auto and home owners insurance premiums not to mention the do generate revenue via property taxes and everything else.
    I think you Mr Ayotte owe the people of Florida and the sno-brds an apology.
    Not everyone can afford the luxury homes they buy from making their living off the less fortunate!

    I’m sorry for all the typos on my prior e-mail.
    That comment coming probably from a wealthy man just pissed me off to no end.
    If they didn’t make the mobile homes so cheap and would have had some for thought about the weather in the southeast.
    Just goes to show you what one of the big cheese’s thinks of the products they sell.

    You know, you don’t relly have to retire to Florida. There is a lot of land at much better prices in a lot of other places. If you want to play, you gotta’ pay.

    C’mon… it’s a mobile home… you don’t need homeowner’s insurance. It’s not like every time there’s a storm, tornado, hurricane, earthquake, UFO landing we see galleries of photos of crushed, demolished, or completely missing trailer parks.

    I’m sure you’ll be COMPLETELY safe from natural disasters in a light-weight, pre-fabricated, poorly-anchored structure with no signifigant reinforcement members. That thing is bomb proof!

    “Anything that’s a mobile home is considered debris.”

    I love ’em all. Did you ever wonder why so many people are stupid enough to go cheap on their retirement or current homes by buying a piece of crap trailer for a few thousand bucks, park it in the middle of the most hurricane vulnerable state in the country, then act surprised when it gets wiped out? There’s a reason they call them “trailers”. They were designed to be “mobile” as in pulled behind a pick-up truck and parked somewhere “temporarily”. Looks like the got the “temporarily” part right since they seem to disappear everytime the wind blows. Why doesn’t Billy Bob hitch it up the truck when a storm is coming and put the “mobile” back into it?

    When they do get wiped out the cry babies will be in front of every TV camera within 100 miles, blaming the Gov’t for not warning in advance, not helping enough, fast enough, etc…

    Then we’ll all end up paying because no elected politician has the nerve to say “take responsibility for your own decisions” “The government does not owe you anything”

    I’d vote for the guy or gal brave enough to to make that statement.

    I thought the industry was making a big push to eliminate the term “trailer” and instead go with “Manufactured Housing”.

    Obviously their lobbyists didn’t get too far with THAT one. Think of all them thar folks trying to live up to being Manufactured Housing Trash. It’s just too many sillybulls when ya aint got teeth.

    The best way to eliminate coastal storms or Florida hurricanes is to move a whole mess of MH units to say Alaska or Saskatchewan. Seems like the bad weather always hits the worst in the trailer (I mean MH) parks.

    Maybe the insurance industry could buy a whole bunch before the storm – instead of buying them after the storm shreds them – and just ship them out of town. Just move the parks and get rid of the evil magnets. It’s called Risk Transfer. I’d like to see a tornado or two transferred out to the tundra.

    Ever notice how most people in trailers are skinny? It’s not just economics or clean living at work – you just can’t fit a double wide into a double wide anymore. Seems the health insurance industry could patent something here. And then exclude the coverage or yank up the cost or whatever.

    Of course they could just design the MH units with wings and with floats so that they could soar off or float away into the horizon. Kind of like the Bud Set instead of the Jet Set.
