    The only part I doubt is the picture of a parking lot full of $50,000+ travel trailers being offered to the displaced families, schools don’t have the budget for that shit, and homeless families sure can’t afford those without going even further into debt.

      Sometimes schools get trailers as overflow classrooms. The ones I’ve seen have always been more like the temporary office ones like you see for the foreman at a construction site, though. But it’s possible they’re using them for class during the day and then letting people sleep in them at night.

        I very much doubt they would use private travel trailers as classrooms, when a portable (the temp office building) is cheaper and can actually fit a class of children.

          We really need a different name for those things because I don’t think in the history of all schools ever, has one ever not been permament.

            I honestly can’t disagree with that, my workplace has had one as a department office for 30 years now.
