She was fixin’ to get ready to do something.
That should be an indication.
what....no pictures...
The New Orleans area is full of Democratic politicians who take it upon themselves to decide whose private property they want to destroy.
This poor woman is just another victim of Democratic Nanny State politics.
Article says her home was bulldozed after Katrina. That would be 8 years ago. And that the family was living in Mississippi.
What, exactly did the city bulldoze/cleanup here?
Now what is she and her friends going to do for a shooting gallery?
12 years............hmmmmm
Didn’t Louisiana get a HUGE sum form the fed gov’t after Katrina? Didn’t Landrieu ask for something like $250 Billion? What happened to all the money?!
Shouldn’t there be some due process? Do we really want bureaucrats deciding to tear down houses, with no process for appeal, nor even notice to the owner when the demolition is to occur?
She had no money and she was going to finish building with volunteer labor??? and this is 8 years after Katrina???
I can see why the neighbors were fed up with her.

Everyone of these injustices perpetrated by the state against citizens to rob them of legally owned property always seems to start with some a-hole busybody who cannot seem to simply mind their own effin' business.
That is how my city works. The city triedto condemn my property to place a road through my house. After years of fighting they were forced to move the road to the original plan off my property. When contruction started they sent demolition crew “accidentally” to start ckearing my lot. They had two excavators and a D8 bulldozer. Their hope wasto level the lot while I was at work. Little did they know I was at home and watched the city supervisor case out the house making sure I wasnt here. I caught those rat bastards but not before they already tore down my fence.
If you like your property rights you can keep your property right. Period.
Good grief. What part of due process does this Nifong not understand?
Wasn’t Hurricane Katrina like 8 years ago???
Notice the article doesn’t say how many years the property has been blighted. It was a eyesore
Didn’t see what the original house looked like before demolition. How bad was it? I did that Google maps thing and from the image it didn’t look that bad. But then again, how long ago was Katrina? Was she sent papers or something to inform her they would demolish it? Do people from the council drive around neighborhoods looking for derelict home to smash?
