I am currently taking a class on Global Citizenship and I chose to focus this particular issue for an assignment. Does anyone think that there can be better alternatives to displacing people who are affected by urban renewal or eminent domain in order to keep them in their homes, or return to their residential areas?NetteBnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33772570.post-50543330417428164012009-09-13T06:36:18.373-05:002009-09-13T06:36:18.373-05:00This happened in my home town too, the area I grew...This happened in my home town too, the area I grew up in was allowed to die a slow and painful death brought on by a highway...Homes and places that had been there for generations gone....Now plans for redevelopment!!!D W JazzLoverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10364668632222212220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33772570.post-65072115797130454082009-08-20T02:29:18.394-05:002009-08-20T02:29:18.394-05:00I agree with you on all points, and I think the ov...I agree with you on all points, and I think the overarching neglect, FEMA incompetence, poor rescue services and racist undercurrents that fueled the lack of help and placed blame on the hurricane victims was a great boon to those in power who saw the devastation as a perfect way to start all over and rebuild the city, code for instantaneous gentrification--go get the white folks in here! Since the insurance wouldn't pay to help the poor rebuild and since few people in the power alleys of DC and other places want to rebuild those poor neighborhoods it became a call to get rid of those perceived as undesirables. I mean, if it's the victim's fault people don't feel as bad about removing them, right? So place the blame on the victims and kick them out and rebuild and make it new, i.e. white. It's horrible what happened to New Orleans and people should be ashamed of themselves for putting economics over people's lives, and using racism to make it all that more palatable for doing so. It's one of the most despicable situations in this country's history.ZIRGARhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05292312948672927804noreply@blogger.com
