I have been intrigued lately by comments of people from NO living here. They all say there is no room for poor people, I assume they mean non workers, in the city. The housing is going to be needed by the rebuilders. Apparently talk of the housing projects, Iberville in particular, being useed for housing for workers.

It is interesting, and I am growing more pessimistic that NO can climb out. Jeff parish is okay I do believe as is uptown. But where will the workers be, the ones who sling burgers, mop floors etc. I hear the pay offers are incredible for just working at a burger king.

It seems to me to be an incredible chance to rebuilt a really wonderful city and do it right. I don't know if it will lhappen. But I wish the hurricane people would all go someplace, the traffic here is terrible.
