1)More visibility to the weaknesses of the current Administration; 2)Perception that the socio economic classes were hit "more" equally in MS than LA 3) New Orleans looked at as major tourist industry... my question would be How much money is being spent in each place? Who is it going to? and What is being done? So far, from what I've seen there's a whole lot of nothing going on in either place, except to try to make Bourbon Street presentable for Mardi Gras (only 6 months after the disaster)

we already have welfare, food stamps, government housing, and medical care. there shouldnt be any other special programs. new orleans has been taken down in the past by hurricanes, it will happen again. it is a stront city, it has rebuilt on its own in the past without the help of the government. i lived in texas where rita went through. i lost almost everything as far as possessions go. i'm not accepting handouts from the government. i moved, life continued on. when the weather dictates that you evacuate, you dont just sit there and then expect compensation for your own lack of listening. i say the government should completely back out of rebuilding new orleans and let it do what it needs to to rebuild itself. people with money will invest, it will come back bigger, better, and stronger.

It does not make sense to rebuild New Orleans in its current location.  There is not enough land mass to last the next 5 years no less the next 500.  As to relocation would you call it New New Orleans or Orleans III?  As to it being the soul of the nation, people are the soul of our nation not places.

You hosting, Cranky?  I'm so there!!  I WISH. I've never been and would love to go.  My mom's best friend is a priest in New Orleans but his church was destroyed by the hurricane.  I guess I could have stayed with him...the church has lots of money, I'm sure they will re build.

"None" don't waist your time looking! Just look at the results of Katrina.

No, but I was there August 30th.  I'm a pediatrics resident @ Children's Hospital in New Orleans, and we caravaned 30 kids to the airport to have them air lifted to Kansas City & Houston.  It was a jaw-dropping experience.  I have been on many transports before across the gulf coast, but I have never seen anything like this.  I still kick myself for not having a camera.\n\nMyself and other doctors and nurses used our personal vehicles to transport these children from the hospital in uptown new orleans to the airport in kenner (30 minute drive).  Security was extremely tight on the tarmac.  When we finally got onto the tarmac, there were dozens of helicopters &  transport planes coming in and out of the airport - it looked like a fully functioning military base.  Transport teams came out of 3 different national guard aircraft, triaged patients and set off to their destinations in less than an hour.\n\nOn the way back to the hospital (we still had a few patients) we drove by the staging area in metairie @ I-10 and Causeway that you probably saw on TV.  There were thousands of people surrounded by hundreds of emergency vehicles and buses littering the intersection.\n\nThose days after katrina changed by life forever - I will never forget, and I am committed to bring New Orleans back - it's my home

You could try looking it up on google, or you could try asking other people that have been to the place you are trying to visit during that time what the weather was like.  You could also look it up in a book, books these days are very resourceful. ( not trying to be sarcastic )  I know for a fact that there are sites on the web that predict what the weather will be like in the future for you.  I am not sure what their links are, but I know their out in the web world somewhere.  I hope this was a help.

Yeah, parts of New Orleans can still be fixed.  A lot of the Mississippi Gulf Coast just looks like a bomb went off.

There is no assurance that New Orleans will be hit by another hurricane, just as there is no assurance they won't be.  While I'm not a psychic, from previous years and studies of hurricanes, it's very unlikely that another hurricane will hit them this year and even more unlikely that a large hurricane will hit.\n\nMany younger adults, mostly people in their twenties, are taking advantage of the large amount of homes available for sale.  While the homes need much repair, a recent college graduate who was looking at a small house in another large city can afford to buy a big house in New Orleans and then renovate it for the same price.  While home insurance is expensive in the city, the price of the home, repair, and insurance still doesn't meet what you'd pay somewhere like California.\n\nThere's also the fact that many people don't have a choice to live somewhere else.  While many people have moved out of the city, most of the people that were displaced by the storm are extremely poor.  They didn't own their homes, many didn't have insurance, and Fema has drastically cut the amount of aid they are giving to people.  However, many of the cities they have been living with are also cutting off aid and so they are forced to return to their broken homes, the only thing they own, and attempt to rebuild (they certainly can't sell their homes in the state in which they are in). \n\nFinally, New Orleans is still a major shipping and oil port and people are needed to work the jobs to get things on and off ships.  My mother's oil company has actually offered large amounts of money and incentives to get people from her KY office to move down there and work.  Hope this helps explain things.

The Mississippi River kinda goes through a part of New Orleans.  There is an "East Bank" side (downtown, Superdome, Convention Center, 9th Ward, etc.), and a "West Bank" side (ongoing joke that people are less educated and lack social skills).  A huge bridge connects the east and west banks.  The east and west banks are governed by different police forces and are different "parishes" (other states have counties).\n\nEast Bankers were trapped at the Superdome, there was no food, water, medical care, etc.  The people started looting - not just for food, but also computers, electronics, shoes - you name it.  They also began shooting at rescuers.  YES, SHOOTING AT THE HELICOPTERS TRYING TO RESCUE THEM.\n\nWest Bankers had no better provisions.  But they also had no large evacuation centers like the Superdome.  They were just as stuck as the East Bankers.  \n\nSome of the East Bankers began to walk across the bridge to the West Bank.  They broke into homes, DEFACED PROPERTY, PUT OUT CIGARETTES ON FLOORS, AND DEFECATED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROOMS.  They also broke into the West Bank's ONLY shopping mall, looted it, then burned it.  It is still closed to this day.\n\nAuthorities on the West Bank soon stopped the East Bankers from crossing the bridge, because there were no better provisions on the West Bank than the East Bank.  Also because they were destroying homes and burning things.\n\nNow the world thinks it was such a horrible, deplorable thing to keep the East Bankers from crossing the bridge.\n\ndilemma:  do we let the East Bankers cross the bridge, break into homes and businesses and destroy/burn them, let them cause chaos when there are few police officers available to control the peace?  \n\nanswer:  it depends on what side of the bridge you live on.
