gen paton: I suspect it will be worst, similar to L.A. Rodney King. But again when Federak goverment told them to leave before Katrina hit New Orlean they didn't move. so i guess they made their choice.

Yay for Nagin and his wonderful team. What idiots reelected Willy Wonka and the Oompa Loompas after the wonderful job they did with the flooding in 2005?
Ergggh...
Anyway, it's ridiculous. Something this big should be left in the public's hands. Or not considered at all. I've been to New Orleans several times, and there's so many people that are homeless there, just waiting for somewhere to live. After the levees burst, too, a lot of homes were flooded beyond repair.
Public housing should be the first thing on their minds, not something they need to tear down.
Also, the First Amendment was hugely violated here. The protesters were causing an uproar, but they weren't using violence from what the article says. (This may be hugely biased for the citizens, though.) The tasers and whatnot are just plain unnecessary.
At least they say that redevelopment is in the plans. But why not just build the new stuff, then knock the old stuff down?
Crazy, corrupt southern politics.

under present circumstances unlawful extraterrestrial beings will get carry of emergency therapy, that isn't exchange. even although there is an completely distinctive spectrum of issues that they don't at the instant get, like prescriptions, medical doctors visits, dentist care, scientific care, non-extreme surgical procedures, prolonged scientific institution maintains to be. those are the flaws Joe Wilson says the president is mendacity approximately. i could trust representative Wilson, that he and the Democrats do intend to furnish comprehensive scientific therapy to unlawful extraterrestrial beings. one difficulty human beings have not seen is that if we make all electorate eligible for scientific care, actual each and every person born in the U. S. is a citizen. a pair from Mexico contains the U. S. mutually as she is pregnant, hides until eventually she is in a place to have the newborn and then looks at a US scientific institution. they might nicely be deported, however the youngster has merely won a helpful asset, loose lifetime well being care.

Herding people into substandard housing deprives them of hope. When low-income housing projects were first opened, they were intended as a temporary dwelling for people who were getting onto their feet--joining the workforce, trying to overcome poverty, single parents, etc. What they became was generation after generation of people living in a pest-infested, crime-ridden, uninhabitable hell with no chance to improve their lives.
Where I live, this process has been going on for a while, where projects are torn down and the tenants are moved into mixed-income housing. They are not segregated according to their low socioeconomic status, but instead live everywhere around the city, with rent subsidies and assistance to eventually make in on their own. I can only see it as a good thing.

well, that just goes to show, how far we've come, doesn't it?
if you want to get rid of people, just tear down what they live in.
they've got to go some where else. just wait, things will get worse. a hungry stomach is a mean animal.

i think it's good.. they need to separate all the poor people. have a few communities around the city, not just all of them lumped together in one place..
