The housing situation in New Orleans does not have to be that bad. It’s being made worse by a status quo of individuals – some call them “businessmen” or “developers” who own or owned huge apartment buildings (not to mention HUD and the projects) AND who HAD or HAVE the moneY (AND OVER TWO YEARS IS ENOUGH TIME TO BUILD A HELL OF A LOT OF BUILDINGS WITH SIX BILLION IN RED CROSS AND GOVERMENT MONEY HELPING) These trolls of society take an ” I DON’T GIVE A DAMN” attitude.

PEOPLE WITH MONEY should be given power not only by what they do, but power or money should be taken away from them based on what they DON’T do.

I don’t care if  it’s from FEMA, the SBA, insurance companies (some of them included), and all kinds of governmen t subsidies and incentives,  or goverment contracts, a lot of millionaires were made richer by Katrina…How many apartment units can billions of dollars build? Or get repaired?

How many New Orleans-born renters – homeless only because of high rents and utilities from companies that call themselves trying to “recoup” their Katrina losses – are sleeping under bridges. And as bulldozers tear down not only the projects, but FAIR TO GOOD HOUSES under city demolition orders, further diminishing the housing stock and causing more homelessness, how many wrecking balls are hitting the walls of what could have at the very least been excellent temporary housing for many who otherwise wouldn.t have lived anywhere, let alone projects, and would have nowhere else to really call “home”
