What that really tells me is what they think of Houston - and why they so readily agreed to have the evacuees bused over here. Now we know, as if we didn't before. Thanks bunches, NOLAns - we'll try to remember the favor.

Right? That remark infuriates me. How 'bout this, New Orleans? WE don't want your criminal element we kindly took in to turn OUR city into another seedy, corrupt, gang-infested New Orleans.

We extended such generosity to them last summer and then to make matters worse, we gave 'em Reggie Bush for the Saints. How absolutely GALLING!

First Everyone calm down. First That is a reporters thought that actually just writes a blog. Furthermore , I know its late but this isnt a slam on Dallas or Houston at all. The concern here is that "outside money" doesnt take these areas she is mentioning and outprcing them outside the market of the average New Orleans citizen. What she is advocating is pretty innovative. Again its not a slam. Folks remember the surburbs are full. New Orleans is bordered by a Lake a Swamp areas and the Gulf. So unlike Dallas and Houston where People have some more choices where to live, NOLA has to make sure that the development is smart and meets all the needs of folks in that pretty diverse district. Again this is not a slam at all on Houston and Dallas. THis is reference to the particular needs of certain part of the city where a "Dallas" or "Houston" like solution wouldnt work. Again no one is slaming yall.
