Karel caller said they will build expensive housing in NOLA

[eleny]

Once they drain NOLA, housing will be built that the current residents will never be able to afford. I had completely forgot about greedy developers. But the caller said she came to this conclusion when B* talked about how beautifully everything will be rebuilt. And she thought it was another reason why he waited so long. She thought he did that so people would die and be out of the way.

1. I think everyone fears that will come to pass

:(
That was why I suggested earlier that we write our congress people and insist that these people be appointed a non-partisan ombudsman.

4. Yes and that's why Kanye was right

B* doesn't care about black people.

6. Kanye ?

8. Thanks, hon! Fingers faster than my mind.

9. no sweat! i saw his speech tonight on CNN-- all of it.

10. He doesn't care about anybody that isn't filthy rich. It's just in

this case NO is mostly Black. Bet he would love to do something with NY and LA.

2. I have been thinking that too. In NYC many old neighborhoods

are too expensive for the natives. Same in parts of Connecticut and the Boston area. When they rebuild, it won't be for the natives. Let's see how good the levees are then.

3. And it will be cheap McMansions..

that look like the houses in any of a thousand other cities, not the beatuiful old architecture NO is famous for.

5. Karel now arguing with Dr. Bill comeing up next on KGO

Karel asked Dr. Bill what he was going to talk about. And Dr. Bill said he was going to talk about the other side - the loud mouths blaming the government. Karel accused him of bringing this up right during the transition from one show to the next when there's no time to debate it. Dr. Bill sucks major ****.

7. It will be...

...one part Midland-Odessa (for the oil-and-gas crowd) and one part Colonial Williamsburg.

There'll be townships somewheres about for the help to live in.

Think Jo-berg, with a Creole accent.

11. If they only build rich folks houses ...

... where will the people live who work at the port, and so forth?

[eleny]

12. Why, they'll live on the edges in the projects and crappy trailers

Like they do up in Aspen.
