Katrina evacuees trapped in trailers. Why are people still living in FEMA trailers 2 years after?

I just read the story too. These are lazy people who want the world delivered to their doorstep so they don't have to make an effort. True, many are disabled and poor so they have limited means of housing and transportation, but many could help themselves way more than they are. Many evacuees were rescued from their flooded homes and then complained that the bottled water offered them wasn't cold. They went to the shelters and lived like pigs, complained about the food offered them, demanded beer, cokes, pizza, etc., and were not grateful for the free stuff they did get. There are some real animals down there. They said "we need help" in the form of people to come help them, when there was a shelter full of people who could have done something. Instead they wanted to wait to be served. There is a culture amongst some groups that includes an entitlement attitude. There was one job fair held for hundreds of jobs opening up, and like 4 people attended. I have seen the FEMA trailers in N.O. and I can't fathom living in one of those little one-room things for over 2 years. Some do because labor help is sometimes controlled by the government, or their insurance company bailed on them and they don't have much money to rebuild. Or they're just lazy. Just because N.O. doesn't have low income housing available yet doesn't mean no other city in the country doesn't either. Too many people don't want to help themselves to betterment.
