If we have 65,000 people looking for temporary housing and only 2,000 have those houses, then we need to double our efforts or triple our efforts to make sure the job gets done.
Nagin emphasized the need for increased efforts to provide housing for those affected by Hurricane Katrina.

In a city that's special, New Orleans, the brand that not only locals marvel at, but the nation and the international community marvel at. That's the New Orleans we're going to build.
The job is not getting done quick enough. We have so many residents that are still spread out all over the country.
Because we don't have a lot. We don't dominate business, we don't dominate a lot of things. So political power is very important.
This city will be a majority African-American city. It's the way God wants it to be. You can't have New Orleans no other way. It wouldn't be New Orleans.
