Reply #7: there's no housing here

[pitohui]

that is not a silver lining, there is no housing in the new orleans area

40 percent of orleans still has no power

huge swatchs of orleans are completely uninhabitable, it is a threat to health to live in most areas of new orleans east, lower 9th ward, many areas of lakeview/lakeshore & gentilly

the salt intrusion killed the vegetation in these areas, leaving dirt, the drought transformed the dirt to dust

people working in these areas during the day have to wear respirators, they can't stay there at night

there is no place for people to live here

if they are indeed run out of houston, they will end up in shanty towns or tents w.out electricity

FEMA needs to honor its promise

it's going to be way more than a year before some of these areas are habitable again, way more
