Subject: Japan:300,000 Still In Temporary Housing After 3-11 Disaster |
URL: http://www.simplyinfo.org/?p=8831 |
|
NHK reports 300,000 are still in temporary housing after the March 2011 disaster. Japan Today cites a number of 305,000 across 8 prefectures. A lack of available housing in the region and also limited flat land to build housing units were cited as contributing to the problem.
23,000 units are planned but land has been secured for only 1/3 of the units planned and only 40 have been completed. Of those 40 units, 12 are in Fukushima and 28 in Nagano. 7,351 houses have the paperwork started, construction has begun on only 1,673.
The temporary housing includes accommodations rented by the government that could be anything from a hotel room to an apartment. About 50,000 temporary housing units were built in the region. These are very small trailer like units that are about 300 square feet sometimes housing whole families. About 100 units are tightly packed into plots of land. There are also still some isolated incidents of people still in emergency shelter situations like the group of elderly Futaba residents still living in a former school in Saitama.
the rest of the article at the link....just shows more how 'no' governments are really ready nor equipped with massive disasters.....and how can they be?

he isn't being nasty...you read that wrong...he just wonders, as we all do from people who personally live there, what they know about the situation other then what is posted on the lamestream media?

My point was that there has been serious damage and
loss here in our own country. If anyone is interested in
accurate figures, we are here at a very valuable resource, the internet. Frankly, google it yourself.
I post stuff and get ripped to shreds by you assholes,
and that situation is more than tired.
Again, do it yourself.

Exactly. It would be no different than asking Dave how Louisiana is dealing presently after Katrina.

Easy folks, if "ny" is in the area he's probably under a lot of stress and thus likely to misread things that aren't being said. I get defensive like that when something triggers even minor stress for me, you get life changing events like what some are going through, I can't imagine what kind of wreck I'd be then.
I don't think the original post he responded to as being an a hole post was one, but the follow-ups are starting to look like it. Anger gets responded to with more anger and the situation only escalates. If he's in the damage zone he has reason to be angry, even if it was originally misdirected. Reacting to defensiveness with more defensiveness will only escalate the situation and cause more discord.
I say this as someone who is too often the cause of it, trying to do better myself but I'll undoubtedly slip in the future, too. I just hope this doesn't come off as condenscending or anything to ny, it's not intended so and might simply be a more accurate description of myself than him/her.

Thank you for your thoughtful post.
I meant what I said. The persons here can
search for figures and information about the
overwhelming effects and damage from Sandy if they want to-
I'm not about to deliver careful research to them and then have them load on their BS and hate speech.
However, in NYC alone, there are now double the number of homeless that there were previous to the storm (now approx. 100,000) and over 200,000 mom and pop businesses
wiped out.

It seems to me that the victims of Sandy are now being forgotten, and brushed under the rug. What really astounds me is the way relef money has to be tied up in Congress, and pork tacked onto it. When disaters happen elsewhere in the world the money flows from the taxpayers to help them rebuild homes businesses, and lives. Its time to take care of our own citizens and taxpayers in this country.
Another story that has to get out is the insurance companies like Nationwide not paying out on their policies. The states should investigate this, and not let them sell insurance in the state if the don't pay out.

Donations always seem to get caught up in bureaucracy, regardless of country. Most of the donations that went for relief after the Haiti quake never made it to where they were needed. I remember reading that a good year or two after it happened. Japan....seems to have been more efficient than average, but still inefficient. The U.S.? About average. Not as corrupt as Haiti's government, but we're probably not as good as Japan's, even with the problems Japan is still having.
Katrina, Sandy. These are things that will take years, possibly decades to fix in their entirety. I do have some friends at the local level, not directly involved myself so I can only give what, thirdhand account. But a lot of folks there are sitting on their butts just assuming they'll be rescued and getting angry when they aren't, while others are doing what they can to help neighbors and themselves. Angry, yes, and justifiably so, if you've paid for insurance and aren't getting the help you paid for. If you were simply unprepared, well, that would be a case by case basis on whether I'd be judgmental or not, some people are just plain idiots, others too poor to move elsewhere, some to complacent, some really did get hit unexpectedly. But you live on the coast, that is essentially playing roulette with the centuries.
You live in my area, you're playing roulette with New Madrid, and to some degree with tornadoes, drought, fire, though we're not as bad as others. Be aware of risks and do what you can to prepare. Government never will be prepared to take care of everything.
Government never has been efficient, honestly if New Madrid ever were to go in a big way I won't expect rescue for at least weeks, and it's probably better to be prepared for months without basic services like clean water and sanitation (heh...good luck with that--weeks I can do provided nothing smashes my clean water supply and no one riots and steals it, months though and I'm screwed). When the news showed the footage of Sandy, I figured it wouldn't be until Spring at least for some of the stuff to be fixed that they've already gotten to, but I suspect for others it'll take years. I hope they surprise me for the better.

Ia few weeks ago, I had a long talk with an old friend who was helping out at the Jersey Shore. This woman is very political. Very progressive-
what she told me was that the situation was very, very bad, and that FEMA, The Red Cross (yes, she preceeded her statement by saying that she didn't support the org.) and Occupy Sandy all did great things.

They are being forgotten- the city wants the public to "move on" and there are vast neighborhoods where there is nothing. Nothing.
