75. You forgot to mention -- St. Thomas replaced by WalMart, now the only supermarket in NOLA.

Or might as well be... right in the Garden District.

Because everyone knows WalMart is a better neighbor than those gadawful public housing projects that upscale "liberals" keep bitching about (because they will no longer take poor people in their own god damned "blue" college townships.)

Don't forget Clinton and his HOPE VI program engineered the destruction of public housing in cities like Chicago and NOLA and Obama is fully committed to carry it out.

Another fact:

In Washington DC they replaced the mostly elderly Carrollsburg public housing, an entire neighborhood of townhouses, with empty land for local white ethnic cleansing specialist in "new urbanist" garage townhomes in order to "make it possible" to build the new ballpark on land nearby (by clearing away the minorities). The Democratic Party of DC, which had a white council voting majority (in a majority-minority city) was fully on board with this. The only two developments built by this team in DC both turned the surrounding neighborhood from 80% black and mixed-income to 80% white and upper class in less than ten years. Two different neighborhoods, same pattern. Entirely segregated by income (and, thanks to credit tests, race).

Oh, and the elementary school for the area had to be closed because the student roster went from 800 to 2.
