We closed a whole big bunch of military bases in the 1990’s. I know the Clintonistas were quick to turn some of them into strip malls, but are others still sitting there gathering moss? Fort Devens, near here, had all sorts of barracks and other cheap housing, administrative buildings, etc. If the bases haven’t all been turned over to Pizza Hut and the abandoned buildings are still standing, just a little work could get them back into shape — assuming the land is still in federal hands. And the bases are all over the country. Empty buildings sitting on federal land, with water, sewer, roads…everything already in place. Seems an ideal temporary fix for those displaced by the hurricane.

They seem to be on the list of locations being scouted around the country.
