Another story: New Orleans doesn't need houses anyway

(by the looks of it the site is horroribly biased, but I got it from another forum and I'm to lazy to search for another article)

5.000 public housing units are getting demolished while 200.000 people still have no permanent home yet.
After Katrina, everytime I heard the song "House of the rising sun" and after the beginning there is a house in New Orleans I added "not anymore!"
Now I'll start doing that again
