Absolutely Alice in Wonderland! People who want to live in free accomodations without jobs seem to feel that they can choose where they live?! Please, someone, Gov Jindal, Mayor Landrieu, tell these people that this is not the new reality.
Other peoples money ran out.
You have that right.
You got that pegged just right. When you ride into New Orleans it looks like a slum, abandoned houses, etc. Here on the Ms Coast the houses were just sucked out into the gulf, still just lots along the coast drive, far different from New Orleans.....
You’re comments are pretty callous for those of us who have to live in or around Houston and Austin.............we don’t vote liberal, but we must live here anyway.

Both cities have large Mexican and black populations——

Did ya get my message? LOL!
Sorry about the triple post—didn’t mean to do that.
funny how we spent opver a half million dollars for every man, woman and child on NOLA during the hurricane, and the only response we get from these folks is “it ain’t enough!”.
Bush got it all wrong. he should have gien every family a quarter million dollars, and closed the place down. we would have saved a ton of money, we wouldn’t have the problem of keeping a city below sea level dry, and nobody would be expecting us to shell out even more!
Lived there for a year in the Audobon Park area, that was ok, but the rest is third world.
Agreed. And what does he expect? If you build new housing, the price will be higher then the old housing. If they want cheap housing they can move to other areas of the country where there is cheap housing. Why should we subsidize housing for people because they can’t live in the neighborhood they grew up in? That is not a rational argument.
If these people have no jobs it is even easier for them to pick up and find cheaper housing with jobs.
Let the housing market play out in New Orleans. Developers will build there as long as the price is reasonable for them to do so. And the price will be reasonable when demand to live there goes up. If that doesn’t happen then so be it.
One thing I can say for New Orleans. I think they have the best food in the entire country. I’d be sad knowing that Mother’s was gone.
