Weekend reading, cont'd

- David Smith has been blogging up a storm all week over at the Affordable Housing Institute.

- Among the many links cited in the previous item here, just wanted to highlight this Nov. '04 report from Florida. On closer reading it says really a lot about the organizational templates that federal authorities had ready to put into use for the housing response after a major hurricane.
