Unbelievable. You’re floating a June 1st deadline so that we don’t become known as “trailer city” but you admit that most residents are economically incapable of finding new housing or rebuilding their own home enough so that it is livable by summer. Your plan to help them with lending programs will not be available by the time you the deadline you’re setting.
It’s obvious that the architects of New New Orleans want folks to move elsewhere so they’re someone else’s problem. This recovery is turning into the current Iraq War; they just don’t know how to tackle the non-trivial problems of making things right, contradict themselves at every turn and refuse to take in community needs and ideas.
You know, ever since moving to this nation, I’ve wanted to produce a TV show called The Lifestyles Of The Poor And Unknown and get Robin Leach to host.
You think its a coincidence that her district probably has fewer trailers than any other district?
District B wasn’t as flooded as any of the others. Still, what about her Central City and MidCity constituents, and the fact that she represents New Orleans? She ought to be ashamed of herself for saying such a thing.
