"Many whites oppose reviving some areas of New Orleans; Poll indicates divide along racial lines" by Richard Fausset, Los Angeles Times | June 1, 2009
NEW ORLEANS - Nearly four years after Hurricane Katrina, it is the worry that will not fade, complicating the rebuilding of New Orleans and defining and reflecting this fragile city's racial divisions.
It is the fear of a shrunken city. Immediately after the storm, many residents, often black, worried that low-lying, flood-ravaged neighborhoods would be left unbuilt and turned into wetlands by urban planners. Though that possibility has diminished, one fear won't dissipate - that those same areas may wither and die as a result of restrictive zoning changes or a waning commitment to rebuilding in certain parts of town.
It's the issue that tugs at New Orleans resident R.C. Brock, 68, more than the threat of another flood, even with the start of the hurricane season today. Brock is building a replacement home on a Lower Ninth Ward block where water once covered the rooftops.
"We ask the question all the time: 'What are y'all doing for us in this neck of the woods?' " said Brock, whose new four-bedroom cottage is being erected in a battered landscape of empty lots and flooded-out houses. "We can't get streetlights down here. We got holes in the street."
The sentiment can be felt in neighborhoods across the city that have yet to see the return of schools, parks, and other government services. And while it is not solely felt by black people, the issue has taken on a palpable racial dimension.
Since Katrina, white residents have gained more political power in New Orleans, helping elect the first white-majority City Council since 1985. Historically, many of the city's white elite have lived in high-ground neighborhoods that were not badly flooded. A recent poll indicated that a majority of white voters do not support rebuilding some vulnerable areas....
And WE JKNOW who the ELITE of the ELITE are, don't we?

In the early stages of recovery, the idea of shrinking the city's footprint was most prominently espoused by the nonprofit Urban Land Institute, which was hired to advise the citizen-led Bring New Orleans Back Commission appointed by Nagin. The proposal sparked passionate outcries from displaced residents and their allies.
Dismantling neighborhoods, they argued, was a violation of human rights, perhaps an attempt at ethnic cleansing. A former City Council president said the concept was tantamount to "not honoring the dead."
Watch: EndGame
Under this blistering pressure, Nagin and the city government allowed Katrina's exiles to return and more or less rebuild wherever they wished. Since then, New Orleans has grown to an estimated 336,000 residents - about three-quarters of the prestorm count. Badly damaged areas like New Orleans East and the Lower Ninth Ward have only been partially repopulated....
