Strongly disagree with #12. N O at best is a horrible crime ridden debauched hellhole with incompetents running it and awash is cronism and corruption. You go just for a visit and you are taking a chance to become a crime victim, its as lawless as a banana republic city. Not a dime of federal monies should go into rehabilitation of the city, if fellow Louisianians want to be taxed for it, that's up to them.
You're right. New Orleans is one-step out of New Dehli in the rainy season. It's a dirty, corrupt hell hole full of drug attics, prostitute's and criminals. It should be left under water.
Right on Hillbilly! All the folks who had any sense whatsoever packed up and left before or shortly afterwards in their vehicles they paid for with money they made from their real jobs. Many went to stay with relatives (who don't live in the same house with the other 15 of them).The huge bulk of those left were low- life folks living from welfare check to welfare check to handout, who couldn't afford a bus ticket, much less a car. Of course, their lack of initiative is Bush's fault too!

This can be said of any major city on earth.
With good light and a sharp eye you will see the same in any city or berg. It is just a matter of scale.
