It should be bulldozed. That area is a problem area, geographically speaking, and is now even lower than before(New Orleans is below sea level).

To rebuild in an area that is destined to be devestated by the next hurricane is foolish and irresponsible.

Naturally it should be rebuilt -- it housed 60% of the Black population that live in New Orleans according to some statistics. Politics have a hand in this -- local and federal. The people are also responsible (i.e. the ones that can help, should).

Recovery efforts in the Lower 9th Ward..wait, there are no significant recovery efforts in the Lower 9th Ward. The whole scenario is grimey. Honestly, I think the resurrection is going to have to start with and come from the cats who are local and can contribute (supported by us).

One question that bothers me - should people live there? There are some places on our planet where you just shouldn't put houses, and perhaps this is one of them?

Of course this is no excuse to leave the place looking like a war zone, or to ignore those who have been displaced. Even if it's never to be rebuilt, it should be cleaned up.

I thought about it and I'm angry.

No questions, no answers.

I do have this to say (prompted by the "Something to say?" title at the bottom of the post...

It's obvious that there is either (a) no political will to get this done, and/or (b) there is too much corruption on the part of the governmental representatives to respond to the will of the people.

Feel free to apply that to local, state and or federal government and/or agencies as appropriate!
