"You scratch your head and wonder," says Dennis Ramsey, mayor of the city of 11,000. "They're obviously not doing anybody any good sitting out here at the airport. ... Knowing the conditions people are living in and the need for these houses, seeing them sitting up here in red tape is disconcerting, to say the least, and a total waste of the taxpayers' money."

Last week, as FEMA enforced a deadline to stop paying hotel bills for 12,000 households left homeless by Katrina despite complaints that many had no good alternatives, the ironic counterpoint at Hope's airport jumped into the national spotlight. One official warned Congress that Hope's mobile homes might never get used and might even suffer damage as they sit in limbo.

"They've been sitting exposed to the elements for months," said Richard Skinner, inspector general of the Department of Homeland Security. "Some of the trailers that we inspected are actually warping, have lost wheels. And some have been cannibalized, parts taken out, and we don't even know where the parts are right now. So their value is going to decrease tremendously."
