Watch for the aid amounts for Greensburg, people.. [View All]

[SoCalDem]

If there are 1500 people in the town, that;s probably 800 households.. $50K per family would build houses for them for about $40M. The downtown businesses would probably be of comparable cost. This was a SMALL town, and the gas was turned off prior to the storm, so if it;'s underground, it;s probably fixable.

This should be a test case of how efficient rebuilding could be.

The have lost their history, but if they want their town back, it IS do-able.

The question is, will money be allocated properly and spent carefully on what the people need.

Modular housing is not safe, so that's not even an option here. The grain elevators (concrete) were about the only thing that survived.

This was a farm community, so replacement of equipment and structures to house them might the of the first order.

edited for glaring math error :)
