| New Orleans Dreams Big in Rebuilding Plan | |
| 2006-01-11 | |
At the heart of the proposals is one critical, and controversial, recommendation: All parts of the city — even the devastated Lower Ninth Ward and other neighborhoods that were submerged to their rooftops — should be given a chance to rebuild | |

| #8 I will never forget that photograph of the yellow school buses, I think the count was 140 or so, submerged in water. |

| #7 You(we)'ve paid roughly $15,000 per pre-Katrina resident SO FAR!!! And virtually nothing has been accomplished. Would have been far more effective to just give every man, woman, and child $15,000 cash and walk away. The foolish would've p**sed the money away, just like the government, but the others would've restored electricity, raised & rebuilt homes, re-created jobs, or started over elsewhere. |

| #5 I could care less what they rebuild as long as I don't pay for it. Oh but you will pay. |

| #2 I thought NOLA had spotty development and angry residents before Katrina/Rita, the difference now is that there is a great deal less of both factors. The rest of us should only support rebuilding above sea level, and let market forces determine what else happens < /FAT CHANCE> |

| #1 He said New Orleans would end up with "spotty development and angry residents" if the future of the city's devastated areas are left up to market forces. Angry residents, oh no, not THAT! Wait until the Federal Emergency Motel Agency (FEMA) gets wind of this! |
