Is New Orleans Ready ?


For half of the former residents, it doesn't matter anyway. At least half of them, haven't returned home. Newly elected Mayor Ray C. Nagin has already warned us, they won't have the money to pay the bus drivers. I would bet a higher percentage of the drivers, probably have returned home. They don't represent the majority of the evacuees, they are employed. Mortgages don't just disappear. Someone has to take responsibility for them.

With most of the residents gone. Why do they need all the buses anyway? Could it be for the convenience of the people, that are already there? I just want people to recognize the writing on the wall. The city of New Orleans is going to be rebuilt, no doubt about it. Just not the way we remember. The disenfranchised are being displaced. Is New Orleans ready? I think so, just not the one of old.

    Common I think you're right. They are moving right along.

    I always said they would rebuild. Just not the way it was before. The French Quarter never closed down.

    I know they are at least as ready as they were when Katrina hit.
