Rebuilding NOLA
Via BoingBoing, Kathryn Cramer asks an interesting question:
The question is this: How much of New Orleans does FEMA plan to restore, and how much does it plan to simply replace. And if the houses are replaced with something else, are they to be replaced for their original owners? Or will the land be taken by eminent domain and redistributed?
With the recent Supreme Court ruling on the matter, I won't be surprised if it's eminent domain all the way. Oh, except where rich white people live. Those houses will be rebuilt and then some.
