Does anyone know how it is decided what state survivors will go to? |
|
I'm just thinking, for example, of the thousand or so expected to land in Portland in a couple days. Were these people told: "You are going to Portland -- take it or leave it" ... or was there some effort to place people where they perhaps have ties or have some preference of going to?

The answer: People are being matched to needs. If real housing is available, like on military bases, they'll send people with medical needs and families there.
I know that one person actively expressed a preference for a city, pursued it and they're authorizing a bus ticket there.
Upgrades?? Texas is a long way from where he used to call home, a Midnight Cowboy butt-busting ride for people who've already been in transit to god knows where for days.
