Basicly, FEMA built a small trailer park for hurricane victims left homeles. The trailer park was built next to a very wealthy neighborhood. Now all the rich people are bitching about it because they have to have a trailer park near their house for homeless familys that lost everything in the hurricane. I might have some sympahy for these fucktards if it was temporary, but it isn't!

I'm really sick of people bitching about Ray Nagin--he stood up for us. He says all kinds of crazy shit. He's SO MUCH FUCKING BETTER THAN THE ALTERNATIVES which include the current LA LG who is bullshit NO politics down to the bone. Also Ron Forman, head of the Audubon Nature Institute, where I worked for 3 years. That guy is a fucking moron who can't even run a zoo correctly.
My hatred of Ron Forman is all-consuming so I won't go into it here. Just know that from a New Orleanian perspective, Ray Nagin is the way to go.

Also, they are people who were there for this same storm. So you feel their losses – many of them looking at wealth diminished by millions as businesses and other investments were washed into the Gulf – should now have to deal with more loss? When is it enough that you would consider them victims, too?
There are always at least two sides to every story.

Oh - I hadn't realized that the trailer parks were actually built in the gigantic bathrooms of these poor, poor rich people's houses.

a) living next to "suspicious" people shouldn't devalue anything,
b) people who complain how they're million dollar houses are being devalued by homeless people are bound to sound smug, whether or not they're hurricane victims too, and
c) if they indeed have suffered because of the hurricane, they should at least express some solidarity.

Yes, they should. But, whatever. If these fortunate people want to live life surrounded by gates and surveillance cameras, I have no idea what they are thinking or why, anyway.
