I'm beginning to believe--and this is from a professional viewpoint as well as a "I watch the news" one--that New Orleans will never be rebuilt. The only things that will remain will be what those of us who are not native New Orleanians have seen: the French Quarter, Garden District, Bourbon Street, etc.
Nagin's comments, despite whatever good intentions he may have had, reduce his credibility even more than before and reduce the possibility that his city will be what it was before.
