2. The poor will not return. Gentrification.
Oil companies, and the expensive homes of their managers and execs.

It's prime property, there will be big business that will raise huge high rises.

It won't be Disney, it will be more like Atlanta.

The homes of the poor are dmaged and are being bulldozed as we write this.

The poor say they don't beleive they can ever (afford) to return to the New- New Olreans.

If we can't get the original, soulful people back- it will be just another commercial city near an inland waterway port town with ocean access. New town houses will spring up, and waterfront properties.

But the heart and the soul of the town, those people who in an almost bibilical sense have been cast out of NOLA.
