No, I wouldn't advise that, because you know, we have downed power lines. We have trees. Our sewer system is not working. The hospitals still have skeletal crews. We still have a lot of work to do.
What you're seeing is the residuals from a system prior to Katrina that was broken. Katrina is exposing everything in its rawest forms now.
We will put all of our resources to focus on murders and violent crimes. Everything we have.
Read my lips. We will rebuild New Orleans East and the Lower Ninth Ward.
