Some people will always complain that the government isn't doing enough. I know people who are stranded in Hoboken right now, the last thing on their mind is complaining about the government.
I haven't found really good information...have most of the floodwaters drained from streets in the city yet? Are things passable? I hope it's not like NOLA where the whole city is below sea level and stays flooded for weeks.
In parts it's draining, but the water is now polluted with sewage and fuel. And, if I heard right, there is now natural gas bubbling all over the place from broken gas lines.
Not everyone can afford to spend the equivalent of a months' rent for a week at a hotel. Not everyone has a relatives' pad in Kentucky where they can crash for the week. Try stepping out of your own experience and understanding the lives of others before ye judge, eh?
Your post made me really smile As an atheist, I can just imagine Noah, a hard working man
who knew a storm was coming, and others simply felt, why bother....
In all seriousness, we shouldn't be building on barrier islands anymore, and what happens in
NYC with that many people - it's expected.
Bad weather happens everywhere. Being from the gulf coast, it's a crying experience -
but let's learn from it....
Oh, and it's good to finally see our national guard troops at home - where they belong
doing the "job" they were meant to do...
And if it happened today- Obama would be trying to tax Noah for being "wealthy" enough to own a big boat, the environmentalists would be taking Noah to court for using too much wood, Eric Holder would be suing Noah for not taking enough black people on the boat, and we would have tons of c-d posts about evil Noah who got "handed his big boat on a silver platter." And then Obama would go on TV and say, "If you've got an ark, you didn't build that yourself."
Government regulations wouldn't allow his big boat to sail, so we would all drown.

Too funny! Tried to rep you, but must spread the love around.
Thank you for the correction.For the life of me I cannot locate the link I used. Subsequent searches shows the population has increased about 30% in the past decade. It is still predominately white, young and renting:

Many streets are still flooded because Hoboken is below sea level. It floods there every time it rains. I remember reading that it started flooding there Sunday night, before it had started raining, no doubt because the water table started rising with the tides. Pretty much all of the bodies of water in NJ are tidal from the marshes to the rivers.
It will take some time to get things back to "normal."

Your Homeowners' policy has an automatic emergency living expense rider. It's a % of your total policy and is payable immediately, upon proof of rent/lease agreement. It supposed to cover the insured for up to 6 months emergency living.
Try research before you judge. It's helpful to know this stuff if you ever have an emergency.
