Racism is another tactic to keep people divided. We are all humanity and should act like it. On the other hand 'maintaining the comfort of the rich depends on an abundance of poor.'

I can udestand what you are saying, and yes black people commit more crimes and worse crimes on average (statistics dont lie).but dont eliminate a whole race due to those incidents.

the white guy with the maga phone is just trying to run for office. He is using this situation only to benefit himself. All the white guys are liberal canibals. Probably not even from N.O.

to them they dont see it as mold infested houses they see it as home a place where they used to live and just because they live in govt housing doesnt mean that theyre not trying to better themseles the only difference with ppl who live in the projects and middle class ppl like yourself is that theres no steady income and theyre fams have been living in proverty for years and it is hard as hell to get out of living in proverty so you cant understand their situation looking from the outside

these out of town dumbasses have no idea what's going on.most of these building stood in up to 10 ft of toxic water for 2-3 months becoming mold and rodent infested.these buildings were slated for demolition in the future to be replaced by mixed income housing. why should the government spend millions to repair buildings slated for demolition in a few years.the money will be used to rebuild. several of the buildings were boarded, families relocated,b4 katrina. thieves were stealing copper pipes

I was raised tolerant of all races. Then I was mugged by 4 blacks, had big medical bills. Years later my place was robbed by 2 blacks, they were caught, but I never retrieved ALL my stuff, stuck in evidence. Recently, my 86 year old neighbor was beaten & robbed by 4 blacks. They're facing prison. You know how many times Whites, Asians, Hispanics or Indians have battered or robbed me? 0<---thats a zero. They say racism is taught, and it is. My family didnt teach me, Niggers did.

I think it is funny that people who live off of the taxes of others are complaining of not getting there mold- infested houses back lol this is bull shit dumb ass people

Wednesday Dec. 19, 2007 Times-Picayune Page A-1 and A-14. Look at the picture on A14 this woman is complaining about the Voucher AKA Tax payer Funded home she lives in she wants to go back to her Housing Project and continue to live off of the welfare state. She has the NERVE to say I need to pay for her rent while sitting infront of a BIG SCREEN TV? I can't afford one because of the taxes I pay pay. HOUSING IS NOT A RIGHT NO ONE IS OWED A PLACE TO LIVE EARN IT LIKE MOST PEOPLE.

A fine example of just one of the myriad problems of "public" ownership of anything. When will people learn that "public ownership" actually means government ownership - plain and simple. My suggestion would be to sell each unit to residents in need of housing for $1 in exchange for a pledge from each new owner to no longer feed from the government trough.

Do you really think they are going to rebuild better housing for these people?
