Forget it. Plenty of money has been spent there. If the local government is so eager to help their own people, then why did they allow millions of dollars be spent on the football stadium rather than get the ninth ward cleaned up, and homes rebuilt? Poor choice of prioritys I think. The federal government has sent millions of dollars to those people, and what have they done with it? I personally posted messages on some boards in the area, asking if anybody was hiring for rebuilding jobs, and received no replies.

Good thought but what if an other Katrina came along? I think an other ward should be established and all those that lived in the 9th should be able to move there instead. Don't know if folks that lost everything could handle losing it again. Unless of course the engineers can devise a make the lake go away?

The lower nine needs more help if you are to assume that it should be rebuilt so it is 'just like before'. That idea has yet to be agreed upon, and market forces which are driving the rebuilding of New Orleans are telling us otherwise. I personally don't think that an area which is unable to sustain itself or even restore itself, mostly due to economic issues, should be where energy and funds are focused. That area may be better used as a mix of commercial property and flood plain.

I don't think it's worth saving. If what I hear is true, the place was devastated, and it's a dump. It's also liable to the same sort of damage in another hurricane. If it's likely to get wiped out again, that's a sure sign that people shouldn't build or live there. Let them move somewhere else. Yes, I'm sorry they lost their homes, but if they want to rebuild in the same dangerous spot, they should do so at their own risk. That means no federal insurance, and no aid to rebuild again if they get wiped out again. If they can get flood insurance, fine. If they can't afford it, they should find higher ground to build on.

To be straightforward there is not any longer a lot that is going on interior the decrease 9th Ward. the top 9th everybody is returned and residing however the low 9th continues to be incredibly empty. there are situations while gangs attempt to circulate returned and take over territories they as quickly as roamed in spite of the reality that it doesnt propose a lot with little there on the 2d. The vacationer factors of the city are doing ok yet in many the outer factors of the city there is gang interest which the police do their terrific to maintain in examine. i think of its extra helpful than it replaced into previously the hurricane nevertheless.

Those who are willing to 'help themselves' are recovering with the help they are already getting. The main problem in New Orleans is that number of people who want it done for them.

That is to low below water level. It is a good idea to find a new location for the 9th ward. I hate to see another Katrina. Move location.
