Residents beg the government to not destroy their homes. HAHO and HUD is intent on destroying over 1000 people's homes. I don't know why. This story makes me very sad and angry. Please do something about it.
Most of these people paid rent!
They couldn't afford to live anywhere else because they were paid crap wages by rich assholes.
The latinos who came in after the storm were screwed too. Many of them found that their employers had called INS when it was time to pick up their pay.

Not everyone that is against Big Government is a proponent of war profits. That is an extremely misleading comment and only supports the divisive ideas and attitudes that have left this country with a disenfranchising two party system that has done nothing to address the problems of the common man.

Get off their ass and go to work in the eateries & hotels where the rich of the city will pay you enough to live WHERE?
How are people ever supposed to move if they can't save a cent?
Do you think the people who had jobs liked comming home to the crime & being told by the police that they would come out?

Like you, I don't know if the UN has knowledge of what is going on in NO, or that effect only relatively a small group of people, they don't consider it a crisis.
With the economy in this country turning sour, a large majority of people, black and white will find themselves in the same situation in the next two years. Perhaps a movement against the greedy and powerful will begin then.

By mentioning "NEO LIBERALISM" I mean to draw connections between issues which lead to some disturbing truths about "who governs us".... There is an organized thought behind a group of issues, and supporters of these ideas seek to divide and conquer their resistance.

The reason that you (and I) feel ignorant about this is because all of the main stream media in this country is owned by corporations that are doing everything they can to keep us ignorant!
But now that we know, what are we going to do about it?

You're right. They paid $35 a month with free utilities and free Cox cable. HANO is building them new low income housing in a mixed development neighborhood, but now there will be a separate meter on each unit. I ask you, shouldn't they be happy to relocate into a new home? Or are they mad that the handout won't pay for HBO on their new big screen TV. Don't blame the rich people for their situation blame your democrat party for giving them the handouts and putting them in this position.

$35/mo? Cite your source.
Where are these new units? How long before they are built?
Well when it is the rich of the city who have underpaid them for generations, and let the schools turn to crap, who should I blame?
When a man/woman puts in a hard days work, AND the employer is filthy rich, shouldn't they earn a wage decent enough that they don't need public assistance?

Obviously, you are not from New Orleans and no nothing of the city's history and present status. The only thing you know is what you see in this retarded video or read on Media Matters and the Huffington Post.

"...and no noting of the city's history"
Were you educated in NO public schools?
Check my channel and you will see where I was Nov '05.
I have relatives in Valance St. cemetary. My ancestors have been in LA since the early 1800s.
I don't read Huffington Post or Media Matters.
I've been in Desire St. project, had a friend who lived on N. Galvez, have know others who worked for a living and lived in these projects, my dad was a page in Rex, I went to UNO.
Obviously you are an ass.

'assume' makes an ass....
I get tired of people who try to state the 'obvious' about other with little grounds.
When I ask you to cite your source for the $35 rent you instead claim I know nothing about the city or its history.
When my comment proves you wrong, you look for another excuse.
$35 is what most of ...( 2 months ago by erasedbythesun)
$35 is what most of the occupants pay. Some pay more and some pay less. The government picks up the tab for the remaining balance. This money comes from our tax dollars...whatever. Do your own research and quit crying. If your Dad was in Rex this doesn't even apply to you. No one from the projects was in Rex. I'm done with you ignorance!!!
You first stated ...( 2 months ago by gmfutube)
You first stated that they paid $35 w/o qualifications. A bit deceptive, heh?
If people who are willing to work were paid a living wage, we wouldn't need to spend our tax $ to house them. Our taxes could then go to help only the aged and infirm - as they should do.
Just because my family didn't grow up in the projects, doesn't mean I don't have a right to object to the way these people are treated. It applies to me because I am a tax-payer & a human being.
