They demand homes then trash them and demand new ones...
A lot easier than taking care of what you got...
This all comes from the disease of an ungrateful heart.....
Every community in this country, having been destroyed by natural disaster, immediatly rebuilds their community, and is gracious & appreciative of outside help. Every community, that is, except NOLA.(the outsiders outnumber the residents)
NOLA was grazed by a category 4 hurricane, for three hours. It doesn't appear they will ever recover. A few weeks later, Cozumel(Mexico) had a category 5 hurricane sit on top of them for almost 5 full days.
Today, Cozumel is a bustling community once again. Today, NOLA is a cesspool of sinning, whining, and corruption....once again.
Like all communities, NOLA has rebuilt those things important to them.
New Orleans Mayor Blocks FEMA Trailer Park

NEW ORLEANS (AP) -- Mayor Ray Nagin suspended the construction of FEMA trailer parks in the city after a confrontation between federal workers and homeowners who were outraged that a government trailer park was being built inside their gated community.
With an election three weeks away, Nagin sided with the residents of Lakewood Estates, a community of spacious homes in the city's Algiers section, and suspended the nearly completed trailer project there and similar projects elsewhere in New Orleans.
The Lakewood Estates trailer park was meant to house 34 single women and their children who were left homeless by Hurricane Katrina, but area residents complained it was too close to their homes. The neighborhood association also sued the Federal Emergency Management Agency seeking a permanent injunction against the project.
FEMA officials said they were surprised by Nagin's decision, especially since he had approved the Algiers trailer site months earlier, FEMA spokesman Darryl Madden told The New York Times. All the necessary building permits had been obtained, Madden said.
The city may have to reimburse the federal government $1.6 million if FEMA is not allowed to finish building the trailer site, Madden said Tuesday.
Fights over where to put trailers for displaced residents have been a persistent problem. Disputes have erupted over whether trailers should be put on playgrounds, in parks and in historic areas, and Nagin decided that council members would be able to veto trailer locations in their districts. In December, Nagin backed away from a list of proposed sites because of protests.
The mayor said Monday he might use the impasse to push FEMA to abandon its trailer plan in favor of modular housing or investments in existing apartment buildings.
The Lakewood Estates protest Saturday started with a human and vehicular chain to block federal workers. When federal security officials threatened to arrest them, New Orleans police were called in and threatened to arrest the federal workers, residents said.
