I would guess around 100 sq/ft at most. The idea is to get these setup while real housing is being established Its very small, it is really only intended to have a safe to sleep and to lock your belongings in during the day.

Individual desires have trumped the good of society for many decades (especially since WWII) in the USA and continue to guide what get's built (i.e. the individual "castle" vs co-housing or sprawl vs revitalizing abandoned neighborhoods). There are lots of vacant houses in Buffalo and Detroit and many other places closer to NO that could have been fixed up pretty quick if people had the desire to move and the government had the political will to assist them. If FEMA were to have provided "Reaction units" instead of the more familiar travel trailer, I think they would have been criticized even more as they would have been perceived as "poverty" huts. I don't think the "form" of the shelter really made much difference. It was the lack of preparedness and the perceived failure of the government to cope with the disaster that fueled the debate.
