Mr. Mayor, you don't give a rats ass about the people in your community or you'd be moving heaven and earth to get these people in warm and safe living spaces!! People are going to die from the lack of assistance and their death will be on your hands! I suggest you open up your home to some of them and you go live in a tent!!

Dude i agree whth you on your assessment or opinion of that Mayer he wouldn't be singing Femas presses if he and his wife had to live in a tent with winter coming ,and i believe his statement of there isnt what he say 20 thousand trailers available i dont belive that for a 2nd as i just looked it up and there are 701 RV Manufacturers in the states alone,never mind the rest of the world ,and im sure their built in other parts of the world ,and how may are all ready built and siting in storage lots waiting to be sold now granted theyed each have to build 350 hundred to house everyone but im sure there are thousands in those storage lots, im sure a deal could be worked out .

Government is causing more heart ache.

The Declaration of Independence's introductory sentence explains the colonists' right to revolution. The document states that if a government becomes destructive, the people have the right to alter or abolish it. The Declaration of Independence's right to revolution is based on the idea that the people establish the government to secure their rights, but retain the power to change or abolish it if it threatens those rights.
North Carolina gives you 2 years to get your property taxes squared away (observe zip code in my screen name). They're due in September yearly which aligns with the start of the State Fiscal Year. So if someone's property was sold of due to back taxes - it wasn't because someone missed a Quarterly due date. It was because they missed 9 quarterly due dates.
@@AmyC28713 I beg your sweet pardon......If you are due property taxes in a county in NC, they will go into your personal bank account and take your last dime, 45 days past due....you will not get a letter or a call. just a notice from your bank of NSF....yes your great NC Senate gave the 100 counties this egregsious authority to liquidate savings, checking. So dont paint that kind and gentle picture to the unsuspecting public that reads these comments.
FEMA cares. Who doesn't care are the Republican led Congress. FEMA ran out of funding and Congress refused to provide additional funding. This is one example of their push to reduce government spending. Unfortunately, this leaves many people in need of help that they will not receive. It will get much worse very soon. So many people have no idea what reducing government spending will do to the common man and woman.
Tell the truths and don't down play it blocking tiny homes RVs on fair ground shutting down centers that provide help with needs check Haywood Rutherford all areas
That mayor of Black Mtn. living in his nice,warm home has no empathy for the survivors of Helene that have nothing. Praising the disaster that is FEMA, is appalling.
While your point is valid, his point about 20,000 trailers is to!! However, why? Couldn't campers be used for couples and small families and trailers for large families?? They the issue of no sewer or water, well gee, they don't have that now!!!!😮😢
Oh God keep these people's warm,,even though it be zero, snow,,miracles,, miracles,,angels of mercy keep these people's warm...Oh God save these people's lives.. miracles,miracles,miracles in Jesus name

Fema doesn't replace your home, they wont clean-up the debris either. They come by and say good luck and drive away. That mayor lives in a big beautiful home. He's not homeless.
It wasn't practice, it was a decommissioned air force base. Think about our times and why that would be. Mi people are fleeing the state due to homelessness. No storm needed.

So sad these people have to go through this and people walk over our border and get better help. Our government has all the means to help but dont use it for the poorer people of the country.
America should be protesting this and voice the utmost worst in Gov. Heartless Protocal . Just Heartbroken and Mad as Hell these folks are in this condition. BE HEARD !
Funny that they didn't interview any members of the House who have refused to provide additional funding for FEMA. FEMA ran out of money. So, they can no longer render assistance to those in need. Amazing how many news networks skew the news. Fake news.
I live in southeast Ohio and my brother in laws brother has been down there in NC since the 3rd day after it happened. With equipment and a few men and he has never come back yet. I can't just leave my job or I'll lose it or I would down there also.
Please don’t ever forget what the Democrats did to these people!!! How can we help them??? These poor people! FEMA isn’t doing crap!! This Mayor isn’t living in a tent!!! I would want a Mayor that is doing EVERYTHING for his city!
Actually, the Republicans did this. The Republican led Congress has refused to provide additional funding. FEMA ran out of money. So, they can no longer assist those in need. This will get much worse as they end services to many people. Tightening the reigns on government spending means that many people will suffer. This could include you or someone you care about in the near future but keep believing their lies. See where that gets you.
I still don't understand why there are not Container Homes being used? A Used Container, some Pink Insulation, a Few 2x4s and some Drywall.... That is pretty much a Motel Room... Sure they would need some Composting Toilets... Sure they would need some water, maybe a Water Tote.... But those would be cheaper than those Hotels or Motels for a Couple Months.. Problem is, these People Lost Everything.. Their Homes, which were not Insured for this.. Their Cars, which may or may not be Insured.. If Insured, not the Value of the Vehicle... But the Fact that People Lost Everything... WIth No Where to Work, No Income... No Way to Support this Type of Loss.. No Running Water.. No Sewer.. No Roads.. There is Nothing there.. Government Corruption is the Problem... Gov Officials just want to Get High and to Be Rich.... To Party All Night and Play All Day.... Instead of Addressing Real Issues, such as these..
How little in taxes have corporations and the very wealthy paid? Many many billions that could be put to good use to help people in need. FEMA ran out of money The Republican led Congress has refused to provide additional funding for FEMA. They don't care about you.
@@leigh1072 And I check my news feed daily, and another thig that administration is concerned with right now is getting Ukraine more money before he leaves office. This makes me sick as well.This is not suppose to be the American way.
Well, if they stopped trying to reduce government spending and started helping people, things would be much better. We spend very little on Africa. What we spend a lot on are tax breaks for corporations and the very wealthy. As this starts to affect people personally, they will finally realize what the truth is and what the lies that they have been told are. It is going to get much worse very fast. When you see it happening, remember that I warned you.
mayor is sorry I do not think so he sounds almost indifferent to the needs of the people I would not want to be in a tent when it is 40 degrees or less
There is an elderly veteran, Lanny, in NC who is in need of $50k to build a culvert and rebuild his driveway after Helene destroyed it. The only access to/from his house is a dangerous, steep embankment, and there is risk of more landslides and destruction. His story is featured in yt video by Carolina Airshots titled Elderly Veteran Stranded by Helene... His fund page is in the video's description. Please help if you can.
This mayor shoukd be ashamed just because it's good in his area doesn't mean its good where the others are . Fema only went to places where they knew were easy access and could get good publicity.
When congressional Republicans such as Thom Tillis R-NC stalls Helene Relief bills..... there's your issue! When Chuck Edwards is SILENT R-NC.....there's your issue! We had an opportunity North Carolina - just last month. We gave jobs back to the exact people who dragged their feet on infrastructure building and re-inforcement in the years before HELENE.
I think it’s sad ! These Americans are living in tents while the current administration is making sure that illegal immigrants have housing ! This is just wrong! And where are the Senators and the Representatives for the State of North Carolina???? Why aren’t they fighting for their people!!! Why aren’t they there in these hard hit places ,seeing what can be done?
Mistakenly stayed at the Doubletree Inn by Hilton in downtown Asheville for three nights. One morning I was having breakfast and I saw probably 15 to 20 FEMA employees having breakfast also In the hotel restaurant.My first thought was why are they staying in a hotel that was charging almost $300 per night. I can’t make any sense of that🤨
Pray for these people! Pray the Heavenly Father will keep those encouraged, going through such turmoil, that he has his hand over them. Their lives are protected by Him! He is the Devine Creator. Pray to him! Amen!! #GodBless 🙏✝️🕊💕💫💞🕊✝️🙏
😢 No, this is Most Definitely Not the American Way! Where is the Help for Them Mayor? Stop with Fema Already! You were just told these People aren't seeing Fema Dang It! Get off your High Mighty @$$ and Bring in Help! Keep updating News Nation, Ty 👍🏼💕😢
Fema not helping here in Fla either, they said they were out of money on tv the day after Helene. THEY ARE!!! Ive spent all my savings to remove a tree from my roof and repair my roof. My insurance went up too high this year. 😢
If the USA was not so desperate for living space, 20,000 trailer in 30 days would be a breeze. But look at the homelessness in the cities. Nothing is available. The dems should not be forgotten for what they did to the USA.
Opposition to public housing has been GOP policy for 50 years. Dems support public housing, along with healthcare and other public goods. Just sayin. Let’s see what things look like 2 yrs from now.
You need to get rid of this mayor he has a problem and covering for FEMA, looks like FEMA is protected from the bad weather make room for these poor people out in the freezing cold.
Please understand that when tens of millions of dollars are repurposed from FEMA to house illegal aliens in hotel rooms, FEMA is having difficulty receiving more immediate funds from the Office of Management and Budget. I am saying this as a seasoned and experienced cost accountant with a strong background in governmental fund accounting. Misappropriation of funds has a price.
I live in forks of ivy community in weaverville nc, westren north carolina our property was devastated and i see biden sending billions to ukraine again and 1 billion to africa! How about help our country our citizens
There are more than 20,000 used trailers and motorhomes for sale especially now in 5he off season. Can't the people effected find and get money for them. They co7ld turn them back in when finished to send to next disaster.
Instead of throwing money away Elon ? (45 million a month to Trump) 😮Break off a small chunk of 20 million dollars to buy them portable shipping container homes.
Our Mayor is arrogant! He needs anger and attitude management.Lord help yes it's the churches and people helping people. The mayor said it at the end of the video. FEMA is not here!
There are modular home manufacturers all over the country and while there may not be 20,000 modular homes sitting around, most modular home manufacturers would love to fill those orders and provide what they have in stock and put the other in mass production fast track, but are the orders there from FEMA? What about this story out there that local NC authorities aren't allowing tiny homes to be used? If that is true, then why? If not enough trailers out there, then go to tiny homes. Allot of people believe that they won't permit tiny homes back on these peoples properties because this has become a land grab situation for the wealthy to have local authorities to rezone much of the land as flood zones making the cost of rebuilding out of reach for everyone except the wealthy who can afford to build and meet the new codes. This results in higher property values and taxes to which the counties and local governments would benefit. Appears to me that if FEMA is really doing something in the area, then by now, they should have identified every single community affected by the disaster and upon learning that there are Americans still living in tents who need help, they would offer them somewhere warm to stay or bust their butts to get a tiny home or trailer brought in for them. Politicians live in make believe worlds that suits themselves. They are in denial of the truth because to often, the truth doesn't profit or benefit them. Send billions to Ukraine and elsewhere but won't do the same for Americans. Terrible.
I hope no one thinks that the trump will make things better. I love Black Mt and I am heartbroken at the destrution ...it is hard to even believe. Too bad the super wealthy aren't buying campers or giving money...like Dolly Parton.
Cops and FEMA should not be stealing 45k in generators meant for elderly people. This needs to be investigated and people need to be held accountable for this.
Where is the hold up in getting the displaced into proper housing? Want job security in politics? Act on behalf of all the constituents, for the benefit of everyone. Guaranteed reelection every time.
I took supplies to Burnsville one month ago. Drove around in a 50mi radius!!! Saw ZERO government involvement?????? Any comment other than what the hell is going on is unacceptable!! There is no other side!! You would not say look at the other side if you were sleeping in a tent!!!! hello
FEMA is an organization formed to help these victims. The Citizens of this country started making a difference within days. I call BS that FEMA "needs more time". 20,000 trailers STARTS WITH ONE TRAILER AT A TIME. IMO, FEMA failed and needs disbanned.
No, it's was formed decades ago to help those states who are overwhelmed deal with a catastrophe, and they have multiple states and multiple situations (like fires) to deal with. Not sure why NC feel so entitled or why they think fema is their private step-and-fetch -it. Fema reservists are often retired or former military so they follow a chain of command, not hearsay gossip girls that ramble on how they don't get free money.
@@bernadette573 Wow I take it that you're not sitting in a tent in the freezing cold while the government turns their back on you. Re-read my comment. I didn't say fema was just organized. I know it's been there for quite a while and I know they go across the country to help where catastrophic damages are and if Tennessee and North Carolina don't fall into the category of catastrophic damages I don't know what does. I hope you have a blessed day and a blessed life and that you never ever lose everything to Mother Nature.
Ooh, mayor, your arrogance is on full display. You’re really rather repulsive. I’m very sorry the poor people of Black Mountain are stuck with such a loser.
disgusting.. These people need to be relocated to livable conditions in other areas of the state. , rebuilding needs to be put on back burner , Is there a legit go fund me for the purpose of moving these humans into livable places ?

Pray for these people! Pray the Heavenly Father will keep those encouraged, going through such turmoil, that he has his hand over them. Their lives are protected by Him! He is the Devine Creator. Pray to him! Amen!! #GodBless 🙏✝️🕊💕💫💞🕊✝️🙏
I live in ashe county nc
Not quite ground zero but catastrophic damage everywhere. Fema denied everyone I know
😢 No, this is Most Definitely Not the American Way! Where is the Help for Them Mayor? Stop with Fema Already! You were just told these People aren't seeing Fema Dang It! Get off your High Mighty @$$ and Bring in Help! Keep updating News Nation, Ty 👍🏼💕😢
Yet we give Ukraine $60,000,000,000...
Yet Elon and Joe have Billions to spare and do nothing
No Fema hadnt help Black Mountain. It the people there helping. Outsiders coming from other states.
Remove this guy
The Mayor - One sorry excuse for a human being! Pray for the people of Black Mountain.
Fema not helping here in Fla either, they said they were out of money on tv the day after Helene. THEY ARE!!! Ive spent all my savings to remove a tree from my roof and repair my roof. My insurance went up too high this year. 😢
Yes, it is the fault of the Republican led Congress who refuse to provide additional funding for FEMA. So, those in need will not be helped.
This should be all over media! A disgrace to ignore this ongoing disaster which makes it worse. Do they want more people to die from freezing?
If the USA was not so desperate for living space, 20,000 trailer in 30 days would be a breeze. But look at the homelessness in the cities. Nothing is available.
The dems should not be forgotten for what they did to the USA.
Opposition to public housing has been GOP policy for 50 years. Dems support public housing, along with healthcare and other public goods. Just sayin. Let’s see what things look like 2 yrs from now.
You need to get rid of this mayor he has a problem and covering for FEMA, looks like FEMA is protected from the bad weather make room for these poor people out in the freezing cold.
He is not sorry enough the mayor. Disgusting
Where is the Governor in this?
Please understand that when tens of millions of dollars are repurposed from FEMA to house illegal aliens in hotel rooms, FEMA is having difficulty receiving more immediate funds from the Office of Management and Budget. I am saying this as a seasoned and experienced cost accountant with a strong background in governmental fund accounting. Misappropriation of funds has a price.
Will Fema help get flights to a safe place? Some take a family in until the winter blows over. At the very least get them toma dry/ clean hotel room.
I live in forks of ivy community in weaverville nc, westren north carolina our property was devastated and i see biden sending billions to ukraine again and 1 billion to africa! How about help our country our citizens
There is tiny homes ! He needs to broaden his horizons he is a mayor!
Vote or RUN him out if office👍
There are more than 20,000 used trailers and motorhomes for sale especially now in 5he off season. Can't the people effected find and get money for them. They co7ld turn them back in when finished to send to next disaster.
Instead of throwing money away Elon ? (45 million a month to Trump) 😮Break off a small chunk of 20 million dollars to buy them portable shipping container homes.
Our Mayor is arrogant! He needs anger and attitude management.Lord help yes it's the churches and people helping people. The mayor said it at the end of the video. FEMA is not here!
There are modular home manufacturers all over the country and while there may not be 20,000 modular homes sitting around, most modular home manufacturers would love to fill those orders and provide what they have in stock and put the other in mass production fast track, but are the orders there from FEMA? What about this story out there that local NC authorities aren't allowing tiny homes to be used? If that is true, then why? If not enough trailers out there, then go to tiny homes. Allot of people believe that they won't permit tiny homes back on these peoples properties because this has become a land grab situation for the wealthy to have local authorities to rezone much of the land as flood zones making the cost of rebuilding out of reach for everyone except the wealthy who can afford to build and meet the new codes. This results in higher property values and taxes to which the counties and local governments would benefit. Appears to me that if FEMA is really doing something in the area, then by now, they should have identified every single community affected by the disaster and upon learning that there are Americans still living in tents who need help, they would offer them somewhere warm to stay or bust their butts to get a tiny home or trailer brought in for them. Politicians live in make believe worlds that suits themselves. They are in denial of the truth because to often, the truth doesn't profit or benefit them. Send billions to Ukraine and elsewhere but won't do the same for Americans. Terrible.
I hope no one thinks that the trump will make things better. I love Black Mt and I am heartbroken at the destrution ...it is hard to even believe. Too bad the super wealthy aren't buying campers or giving money...like Dolly Parton.
Cops and FEMA should not be stealing 45k in generators meant for elderly people. This needs to be investigated and people need to be held accountable for this.
That wasn't FEMA. Hope you get sued. I saw the video. You lie.
Why don't they put them in a motel it is way too cold here
Where is the hold up in getting the displaced into proper housing? Want job security in politics? Act on behalf of all the constituents, for the benefit of everyone. Guaranteed reelection every time.
This mayor is blind. He should not be in office. This is a big country there are 20,000 trailers available I'm sure
Fema has the trailers. They are in storage in the south west. People were hired to take them out there in 2005!
I took supplies to Burnsville one month ago. Drove around in a 50mi radius!!!
Saw ZERO government involvement??????
Any comment other than what the hell is going on is unacceptable!!
There is no other side!!
You would not say look at the other side if you were sleeping in a tent!!!! hello
Why haven't FEMA helped,shame on them
This guy is political
He is MAYOR .... he is playing the game ..... SHAME ON HIM
FEMA is an organization formed to help these victims. The Citizens of this country started making a difference within days. I call BS that FEMA "needs more time". 20,000 trailers STARTS WITH ONE TRAILER AT A TIME. IMO, FEMA failed and needs disbanned.
No, it's was formed decades ago to help those states who are overwhelmed deal with a catastrophe, and they have multiple states and multiple situations (like fires) to deal with. Not sure why NC feel so entitled or why they think fema is their private step-and-fetch -it. Fema reservists are often retired or former military so they follow a chain of command, not hearsay gossip girls that ramble on how they don't get free money.
@@bernadette573 Wow I take it that you're not sitting in a tent in the freezing cold while the government turns their back on you. Re-read my comment. I didn't say fema was just organized. I know it's been there for quite a while and I know they go across the country to help where catastrophic damages are and if Tennessee and North Carolina don't fall into the category of catastrophic damages I don't know what does. I hope you have a blessed day and a blessed life and that you never ever lose everything to Mother Nature.
What a shame. Prayers for you all affected..
Ooh, mayor, your arrogance is on full display. You’re really rather repulsive. I’m very sorry the poor people of Black Mountain are stuck with such a loser.
Too many bots here
disgusting.. These people need to be relocated to livable conditions in other areas of the state. , rebuilding needs to be put on back burner , Is there a legit go fund me for the purpose of moving these humans into livable places ?
