NOLA mayor criticizes NYC.

Upon being criticized for the delay in rebuilding New Orleans one year after Katrina, mayor Ray Nagin replied, "You guys in New York can't get a hole in the ground fixed, and it's five years later."

Because debate over how best to build a memorial/tourist destination is totally the same as rebuilding a devastated city and bringing back its residents and restarting the community. Seriously.

I heart your subject line.

Nagin? Not so much.

I'm actually glad they are taking their time to rebuild New Orleans. They need to toally redesign the city. It doesn't make sense to spend 100 billion dollars just to put the city back in the same peril it was pre-katrina. Though yeah, the 9th ward issue stinks of racism/classism.
