For the folks in the upper and lower ninth wards. I think it will be an uphill battle. In my personal opinion - unless the powers that be pump huge amounts of money and technology into the area it will be a long time before it is a healthy place to live and raise a family. Obviously the Oil, Gas, Shipping and Tourist industries will do all they can to keep those things going. But reports from the residents say that the contractors are doing shoddy work and ripping them off. FEMA trailers sit with no power or water. Some folks simply cannot face the battle ahead. Others seem to have the tenacity to begin rebuilding. Most don't believe or trust any of the bureaucracies required to rebuild. This particular Neighborhood association is ahead of the curve for actually forming a plan which may work.
