95. What do you think they plan to do with the ruins? Bulldoze and burn
everything but downtown and the more expensive (white) neighborhoods built on high ground.

FEMA is going to issue a declaration federalizing the area, allowing them to carry out a slash and burn program on public health grounds. That will begin to happen in the next few weeks. This struggle with state and local authorities is the beginning of that program.

Of course, they won't allow most of the former residents (black) back in. That's why they need all those troops at this late date. It's to ring the city to prevent people from trying to interfere in the mass destruction of what's left.
