Our city is still very much damaged and littered by the hurricane. I appreciate you asking how the condition of New Orleans is. In one year, I had to transfer to two different schools before I went back to my original one. For the first year of high school, that was tough. My house did not get damaged, but my familys' business did. We are back and running. It is not the same. There are many people without jobs and homes to go too. Due to the cost of insurance , electricity, and other factors, many of the locals do not believe in this city anymore. This city will come back again, but it will take a while. I am estimating around 20 years, without a hurricane again like this. August 29 is coming soon . Their are just too many memories that this event has caused , as well as an experience.

You have to break the city down by its affected areas to really know. In general, the city is better. There is a lot of progress but not when you compare to everything that needs to be done. I measure the progress by the little things that happen: the trash gets picked up, someone returns to their home and starts to clean it up, a flooded car gets towed, a restaurant opens.
The city has more potential now than ever, and that is something that was not really present pre-K. It is up to the city, state, and federal government to set up the framework for success, but it is up to the citizens of New Orleans to stand up and contribute to the rebuilding of their city.

The 'so called' rich section and quarter were not as devastated as other areas of the city so it makes sense that they were back to normal much faster than other parts of the city. Although back to normal is not the correct term to have used.
There is very little by way of health care and day care for children. More businesses are opening each week and better than half of the population have returned. Housing, where available, is more expensive than before the storm.
It is still a great place to visit and tourists are needed more than ever before. The current crime spree is indicative of the deeper problem of not enough law enforcement officers but there was a huge crime problem before as well. the tourist areas are relatively safe if you use common sense.

My son is working there on the rebuilding. He says that there are places that still have not even been touched. Apparently they have gotten the tourist places and the rich sections fixed first. I will be flying in there Thursday I don't want to see the destruction but I think I should.

Vastly improved, but much more to improve. The Quartier Latin is brisk and wonderful. New Orleans is the place to visit!

The biggest problem is violent crime. I read about the senseless killings and it makes me want to stay away.
