What is happening in reality??
I told myself that I should spend at least half an hour everyday to surf the web and look for the grass-roots information from people about New Orleans and Lower 9th ward....and also leave the traits to our project /blog.
Along the way I found this video clip from lower 9th ward.

This video proves to me that there is still a lot of frustration and struggle for original residents to come back...
I also found out that Common Ground is taking a huge part in assisting original residents on site. We visited them in February and they didn't have any utilities hooked up.... but from what I understand reading their information, their station in Lower 9th ward finally got some basic utilities....

Wakako and Chris, the project has come a long way and the final direction is quite interesting and seems relevent to the issues at hand.
I heard a recent episode on NPR about a resident of the New Orleans area. She was quite concerned about some of the issues you are addressing. If I can find a link to the episode, I will leave here.
Good Luck.
