Temporary Housing for the Victims
As the situation unflold, many problems have come up.
Prime minister KAN promised housing for all in need by mid-August, the ancestral O-Bon ceremonies for the dead.
To find land high enough in the coastal areas is difficult. Also land that should be used to bild the new villages cannot be used now.
Moving out of the shleters, people have to pay for their own livelyhood in the temporary houses: water, electricity, food. Many families do not have an income since March 11, 2011 and no future expectations to find one in the devastated areas.
More and more young families are moving out of Tohoku now.

The government plans to build a total of 52,000 temporary homes for the evacuees, but only about 28,000 have been completed.
Many evacuees have declined to move into the temporary housing, citing insufficient support services compared to those at shelters.

Housing still scarce three months after disaster
Sites for temporary units, new homes on high ground in conflict
Three months after the March 11 earthquake and tsunami and with a nuclear power plant disaster still unfolding, thousands of evacuees are still living in shelters as construction of temporary housing plods along.
In the worst-affected prefectures — Iwate, Miyagi and Fukushima — only half of the 52,000 temporary homes required have been completed.
... Miyagi Prefecture's policy is to build much of the temporary housing inland to save coastal land for permanent homes. On the scarce high ground available in coastal areas, such structures would be in the way when projects to build permanent housing begin, a prefectural official said.
... Iwate is trying to satisfy quake-tsunami survivors by preserving their prequake communities. The prefecture built temporary homes on previously uninhabited, sloping land near the waterfront so residents can live near where their houses used to stand.
But given the scarcity of flat space in Iwate's coastal areas, a major project to build new houses will have to be carried out on hilly areas that surround it.
Residents of the Akahama district of the Iwate town of Otsuchi, for example, insist on continuing to live on the high ground where some 130 temporary houses are being built.
... But building permanent houses on spots already taken up by temporary dwellings would be difficult for home builders and costly as well.
The situation seems even more complex in Fukushima Prefecture, where Tokyo Electric Power Co.'s crippled nuclear power station remains a constant threat.
