Navyvet, I think you also said that much of the subsidized housing is being rebuilt, and that many welfare recipients are planning to return. I think there will be a change in the demographics of New Orleans, but I think at least a portion of the city will remain and be populated. +++++++++++ Demographics have already changed. Be ready for a Republican Mayor (first time in a long time, maybe even ever) 1.6 Billion going to Section 8 housing in NO. 175,000 is the estimate. I am not sure how long it will take to get that. I swear that as soon as I can get videos made on CD I will send you a copy.
