Having lived in New Orleans for 10 years(not now) in the past, then having worked on an ambulance....almost always being called to those projects at least 3 times a day or night...
They were a nightmare then...gangs, shootings, knifings, beating, theft, if you can imagine it, it was done there...hotbed of any drug you had a hankering for.....after Katrina? WORSE! No glass in the windows, just a destruction it would take too long to describe.
Problem? Hardly any able-bodied tenant having a job...in order to get OUT of those projects...and jobs were and are extremely easy to get in N.O.
This is how Cleveland deals with 'crack' houses, tenements....picture the biggest bulldozer imaginable. The police give a 3 day warning to the owners/occupants to get out. Then they bulldoze it flat.

not really those people took advantage of the government and the resources to help them get their home's back. I'm sorry a lot of good people lost their home's but there was a lot of misleading going on with new Orleans for year's and nobody said anything about it. the levy breaks and everybody goes crazy. the government was told a long time ago that levy was not going to hold so it's all just too conspiracy for me

No project is a good project. They need a home within a community, a sense of belonging. How can a child have that when being brought up in a project.

The Big Easy is becoming a corporate theme park! The whites are keeping just enough blacks around to do the parades during Mardi Gras. This should be a wake up call for all decent Americans, to realize that the govt. is not looking out for your best interests. Only the 'fat cat' corporations get the benefits of reconstruction. They get the 'free' real estate that is 'left' behind by the displaced citizens
The next time a big hurricane hits there,all you will see are white people on roofs,saying,"Help me!" Somehow,I don't think they'll be as patient and peaceful as the previous victims were.

This is an exanple of developers putting the cart before the horse. I think that without offering an alternative for affordable housing PRIOR TO destroying what they have is definitely an injustice. I personally know of people down there WITH FULLTIME JOBS!! that can't afford to live in the places available right now. I know some will suggest moving, but once again... that incurs costs. Until their insurance company (finally) settles with them, they are stuck and homeless.

It is just a typical bunch of rabble rousers stirring up trouble.
