New Orleans – 3 years later – climbing out of the sludge

The news here says:

The new report, “A Long Way Home: The State of Housing Recovery in Louisiana 2008,” shows that while some progress has been made during the past year, thousands of residents who want to return home are facing a critical rental housing shortage, inadequate rebuilding grants and a recovery plagued by red tape and ever-changing rules.

Yesterday, President Bush visited historic Jackson Barracks in New Orleans to tout the progress of the recovery. Bush says New Orleans is on its way back – on Wednesday he said that “hope is coming back” to New Orleans with the help of $126 billion in disaster aid poured into the city.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha – as if he knows anything about this city, our hope, the recovery.
