Lots of work to do down there, lots of things need to change socially for this city to get back on its feet, and to me, it starts with the education system, money needs to start being put into there education system, New Orleans STILL has the highest murder rate per capita in the nation and its pretty much all from gun fire. Jobs need to be created, people need to be educated and it all should change with the people that are being elected to public office to make these changes. New Orleans has a history of ellecting bad/corrupt public officials and that is doing them no favors in turning the city around. And the residents also need to start accepting the change that is going on with the housing projects and the changes and improvments that are being made and stop resisting and fighting them so much.
