Q&A: Do you consider the failure of the New Orleans levee to be a disaster or an opportunity?

Question by Me, Too: Do you consider the failure of the New Orleans levee to be a disaster or an opportunity?

A noted economist stated that Katrina “did more to solve the problems in New Orleans than anything else could.” Another political personage stated that, while man could not solve the problem of New Orleans, “God did!”

By this, they were talking of the dispersal of a million poor Blacks gathered into one area, with high crime rates, dilapidated public housing and all of the problems associated with poverty. So, the question is, could the delay in helping these people return to New Orleans be connected to the “opportunities” these people discussed? Since the public housing has been torn down and new housing for the poor almost nonexistent in New Orleans, do you think this delay has been deliberate? Will the poor Blacks of New Orleans ever be able to return to their city, or will opportunists take advantage of this prime real estate and change the face of New Orleans forever?
