although the area of new orleans that i'm dealing with--treme--is not AS devestated as the 9th ward alot of it mimics the destruction. there are closed down schools that are still trashed, the 2 project areas are completely boarded up and there is very limited availability advertising to the open businesses in the area...the issues that the little film deals with are applicable to my site....
in texas they say "Remember the Alamo", in this case i advocate a similar saying on different political grounds..."REMEMBER KATRINA"--it's victims are still being vicitimized:

-the houses in my area were rented primarily by people who qualify as section 8--and yet the owners of the property are rebuilding yet raising rental prices to beyond the means that these people can afford--even with section 8 assistance.
my point: the issues surrounding rebuilding of these areas are STILL here....
as someone who has come face to face with these issues through the location, proposal, and feasiblity of the project that i'm proposing....
i'm having an activist moment...please bear with me. =) but know that there will be more in the future....
