Edwin D. Weber Jr. stands outside his FEMA trailer in New Orleans. Citing the 221 trailers left in the city as blight, New Orleans officials have given the last folks living in temporary FEMA trailers until the end of the year to move out or face fines. For many people, though, the white trailers are akin to permanent homes and they will find it hard to move out.
