First they must build a levee system that is beyond a hurricanes destructive power. Dr. Maestri ( the guy that prodicted all this stuff ) and even Donald Trump a guy that knows a bit about construction says this can be done. Second I must say that if you didn't have insurance on your home ( flood etc... ) then you should be $hit out of luck. I've been paying flood for 14 years and my house has never flooded even after Katrinia. The government shouldn't build homes for no one. The government needs to be smart with the rebuilding. First get the Port, ship yards and refineries back up and running. This is our traditional economy is the most important for the nation. That means jobs and the qualified people will return to go back to work. They will build their own homes. Next give incentives for new industry to relocate to New Orleans. Here again qualified people will build their own homes chasing those jobs. Then I think the good old free market and capitalism will take care of the rest. No freaking projects! Perhaps low cost apartments and day care for the working poor. Basically no job means no housing.
I'm a bit upset however. I saw on local TV here that the Orleans Parish School Board is up and running in Baton Rouge. They are a snapshot of what was wrong with New Orleans. They make six figure incomes for running the worst school district in New Orleans. I'm not sure how the rest of the country does its school boards throughout the rest of Louisiana, being on the school board is an honorary post which gives you 5,000 - 7,000 extra income a year. It isn't a career. Don't pour billions of dollars down here only to pad the pockets of the local and corrupt politicians. That would make Katrina a National disaster. I'm not sure how many Louisianians you guys know but we have a very strong work ethic similar to the Germans. We love to drink our beer but the next day we will work our a$$ to support our families. :usa:
