Victory for Long Beach Residents: Denial of permits overturned
ShareThis
And from Picayune and Pearl River County
A trip down thru Hancock County over to Harrison County to the Long Beach Alderman meeting where the Mississippi Center for Justice had filed an appeal on the denial of permits for eight MEMA cottages. Voting 4 to 2 - the denial was overturned. A victory for the residents in attendance, Mississippi Center for Justice, and those who had showed up to support the effort including Cheri Honkala - an old supporter of homeless causes.

Chapter 2--Long Beach, MS.
Question:
-What are your regulations or restrictions on modular homes in the City of Long Beach?
-What are your objections to the Katrina Cottages?
These are not mobile homes they are modular, approved by the State Fire Marshall, and up held by judges. Perhaps you don't like them, we don't like your home either. But that does not give us the right to force you to move, just as you do not have the right to force these families to move. It takes people from all kinds of jobs to make a City and make it work. From politicians to pastors, mechanics to magistrates, council members and lawyers. No one has the right to tell another that they can not live here or have this type of home to be here and accepted it. This type of class posturing is unacceptable in our cities and violates everything that I, as a Veteran, have fought for. This type of action, makes my stomach turn and serves to strengthen my resolve to overturn it. I have been in the Military since 1984. I tell you this not out of boast, but to illustrate my dedication and commitment to the things I believe in. I do not give up and never fold at the sign of a fight.

Long Beach meeting was a success for the 5 cottage dwellers who are beginning litigation with the City. They are safe for the time being. But for the other 17 cottage dwellers, the uncertainty continues.
