Only poor, uneducated people (mostly blacks) lived on the lower ground near the levee because the white people were smart enough to see the bigger picture. Give the same people money and they will foolishly waste it by returning to potential disaster once over. White people would take the money but move to even higher ground. Open your eyes and learn black people in the gulf area. Don’t build your home on shaky ground. Find a solid foundation out of harms way. There is a reason land and homes were so cheap in that lower section near the levee: it was called danger zone!

@ str8 truth my hand isn’t out and my heart goes out to the Sipp and Bama cause noone should have to go through that…the true fact of the matter is that the flooding in the city could have been avoided had the levees been properly maintained. No one can say they went thru nemore than neone else, b/c we were all affected in our own way. I am still recovering and have yet nor do I want any assistance. Please just lets not result to making genralized statements about our people and the people who went through this…whether on government assistance or not.

And to the same psychic who knows what I did not go through, YOU DON’T know. There was death and devastation here. Again, you prove New Orleans thinks it was the only area that suffered.

Imply all you want that I want money. My hand isn’t out. I earn my keep. And you wonder why NOLA is working the system to keep that element from coming back and the places they went don’t want them there?

@fashionelites

You really need to check your information. Mississippi took a direct hit and was completely obliterated. The storm surge evidence could be seen for up to ten miles inland. New Orleans fell victim to subpar levees, which they had been informed about for two decades.

You call me bitter for pointing out how New Orleans is squeezing a government for money when the same government informed that city the levees were not up to standard.

The tragedy was coast wide, not just New Orleans, which did not even take a direct hit. The other two states have every right to point out the levees breaking, not direct hurricane winds and storm surge took them out.

The greater tragedy is that there were millions of people outside those areas who suffered far worse and New Orleans is maintaining a good PR campaign to keep the woe is me money coming in.

I remember going to visit people after the storms and while displaces people from MS and AL came in looking to get on their feet, the locals in those area commented quite a bit on the rise in crime due to the New Orleanians and how they wanted freebies. Nothing has changed in four years, has it?
