Another Alternative to a FEMA Trailer


Presented more or less without comment, here's a picture of a "New Orleans Bungalow," another prefab designed for the Crescent City...

A quick search for NOLA Homebuilder, LLC has more information than the picture profile from the online Pic.

I don't like to shill for corporations, and a certain blogger who goes by the name of Adrastos enlightened me quite a bit (considering how brief our conversation was) as to the pitfalls of unnquestioned New Urbanism as it relates to an already-extensively-developed city like New Orleans...but I've gotta believe the NOLA bungalow--or its cousins--have a place in the post-levee failure city. If nothing else, they could serve as a modern version of the little "earthquake shacks" built after the 1906 quake--that is, something to start from (in San Francisco, some of the remaining structures are actually highly desired as affordable urban housing).

Anyway...

(am a little busy over here today...sometimes work means...work).
