> With the poor gone, developers are planning to gentrify New Orleans

11 September 2005, 00:08

Now is the time for all good developers to make the killing of their lives. Now is the time, when all the inferior people have been chased out of the city, to take their houses. NOw is the time for all the developers and lobbyist friends of Bush to use eminent domain, legal wrangling, Urban Renewal to condemn all those shacks and buy them up at about 5 cents on the dollar. All those houses that are empty will magically get owners, who will rent out the shacks, like the old slave quarters, Now is the time for Dick to give out contracts and transfer taxpayer money to the bank accounts of his corporate friends, while they pay below minimum wages to people to clean up the place so they can build their fancy houses, hotels, casinos, businesses. In fact some people won’t even need contracts, but can just use shovels to scoop the money into their own pockets. This is a very good time for Republican contractors and corporations. Think of the billions of dollars that will be floating around that nobody is going to keep track of. What a wonderful opportunity right NOW to get rid of the poor trash and build mansions.
