Kevin Krause came to New Orleans as an Americorps volunteer following Hurricane Katrina, and ended up moving there -- and rehabilitating a home in Mid-City. If the VA and LSU go forward with a plan to use the Mid-City neighborhood for the site of their new hospitals, his home will be torn down. These hospitals would needlessly destroy the historic neighborhood around Charity Hospital where residents have been rebuilding and restoring their community since Hurricane Katrina.

  • I'm glad I don't live in New Orleans.

  • Kevin, my heart goes out to you and all the residents of Mid-City. It's happening everywhere. In NYC, eminent domain is used daily to force long-time occupants out of their homes and businesses. Hundred-year-old buildings are being razed and replaced by "luxury" condos and banal office towers. Greed is killing this country. Will keep fingers crossed that you and your neighbors get a last-minute reprieve. Thank you for everything you've done to help New Orleans.
