It feels as through they are doing everything they can to change the population of the city. Because the city will expand to it's pre-flood size. It is well on it's way. There are a lot of uncertainties, but the city has flooded before and recovered before. Recently, FEMA made $4,000 available for people to move ack to New Orleans, but to move only. You couldn't use that money towards first months rent. We need to try to assemble a package of aid from the different pots and give people a set of numbers to call to come back. But, here's the city, knocking down historic homes, leaving the truly totaled homes to molder. If only I know the real method the city used to determine if a house belongs on the demolition list. As it stands, until they can show evidence of their incompetence, I am going to assume that it is malice. It does indeed seem that way.

This is not fair. The program they should be focusing on and spendig the money on such as getting people back into the city, thy are not. It seems to me they don't want as many people to live in New Orleans.
