Are you perhaps a resident of New Orleans? As an ACTUAL Katrina survivor I can honestly say that the city of New Orleans got exactly what it deserved. They build a city at the bottom of a lake bed, and it floods, big surprise. The only reason there was such a big media hype about the city after Hurrican Katrina is because it was not actually hit by the hurricane itself. There were building and water a couple stories deep that showed you how bad it was. Go look at pictures of Mississippi, they rarely showed those because for about 300 yards in from the beach, everything was gone. No buldings left standing, nothing to show. It was all gone, you would have to show before and after pictures in order for it to have any effect.
So let them rebuild New Orleans however they damn well please, it will only get flooded again, and this time the "rich, white people", as you so politally correct called them, will be flooded instead. Oh and FYI, the rich are rebuilding because they are the ones that can pay for the supplies, and pay for the labor it requires to rebuild. It is not up to the government to rebuild these homes, they were bad and over priced anyway.
