Re: What will N.O. be like 6 months ?
[ QUOTE ]
I feel even worse saying that it might get better as many from the ghetto there might not come back and rebuild, while those who prospered there are more likely to come back. [/ QUOTE ] Why do you think poor people are more likely to move out of a city than wealthier people? All evidence is to the contrary.

[/ QUOTE ] For the record, I'm not taking either side of this, but the poor people are being bussed out right now. It's not whether they leave so much as whether they (can) come back or not.

[ QUOTE ]
Just out of curiousity (I know the circumstances are different), how long did it take to rebuild Dresden, Atlanta and Hiroshima? I know that a lot of old stuff can't be rebuilt, but how long until they became cities again? Also, how bad was London after the blitz? [/ QUOTE ] There was still land at those cities. The area where New Orleans used to be is now part of the ocean. Biloxi will rebuild even though it was the hardest hit. New Orleans, however, is done.

I don't see it bouncing back. I'm wondering where America is getting the money for all this. Where are they going to find 30 billion ? Will we be paying 50 % taxes in the next 10 years ? If so, they will come down hard on online poker for money. [/ QUOTE ] 30 billion dollars over 10 years = $10 bucks a person/year Do you only make $20 a year?

When the levee breaks... [/ QUOTE ] Over/Under on how long before New Orleans classic rock feels able to play that song? Damn, I feel heartless for even thinking that. had an incredible time in the french Quarter when I was there. I got invited to a place called Club Slut by a gay waiter. didn't go. I hope they rebuild it, new orleans that is, not just Club Slut.
