Suggestion: Turn Bush's Crawford Ranch into a NOLA refugee center
It's unused and useless land anyway. High and dry. Apparently most of the Brush has been cut back recently...

2. We could take it under eminent domain.
OOPS, we wouldn't be erecting condos to enrich some corporate fat cat, so I guess that's not really applicable...

7. Probably true... 551 miles

It would be great if there would be some way people within a few hundred miles of NO could "adopt" New Orleans refugees for the next couple of weeks.

6. I suggested this on another thread.
There's plenty of land on that estate to set up quite a refugee center. If that place is truly the "Western White House" then it belongs to the people and the people need it right now.
