The ninth ward should get no more focus than any other part of the city. Almost the entire city flooded (including my neighborhood) and I am finding that the rate of recovery is more related to the commitment by the residents than anything else.
This week Broadmoor received a $5 million grant over time towards their restoration. I am not sure what they did to get this, but their community involvement is probably the strongest in the city, and their recovery (over 9 feet of flooding in some places) is also one of the strongest.
Folks from the ninth ward need to see what Broadmoor is doing and see what they can borrow from their success. It would probably be a good first step if some of those folks would return to their neighborhood though.

I think the 9th ward should be turned into a giant city recreation area and the former residents intigrated into other neighborhoods.

Yes and no. You can't help people that will not help themselves.
Why don't you see these people moving back to New Orleans, rolling up their sleeves, and getting things rebuilt?
Don't tell me it's a money issue...because we all know Federal aide and private sector funds totaled into the billions.
Why isn't Mississippi having these problems? After all, the worst part of the storm struck them head-on.

I don't think any area of N.O. should be rebuilt until they secure the levees or figure out a way to hold back all of that water in case this happens again.
