FEMA Guidelines Political expediency Russian Roulette
FEMA for New Orleans turns regional urban renewal in a boomtown nightmare
By Isiah Scott
The unexpectedly lenient FEMA guidelines of only three feet above ground for rebuilding the flood-damaged home in New Orleans is political expedient and designed to help Republicans around the country in their election campaigns. Many areas of the city are ten feet below sea level and still have the high water point of Katrina marked on clearly buildings around the city.
So why would FEMA allow people to rebuild on only three feet? The guidelines are the latest in the Oval Office New Orleans recovery horror story. The Bush administration has openly abdicated, once again, its central responsibility in guiding the recovery of the industrial economy of the New Orleans region.
Rather than watching the construction of the phase of a new levee system to protect the city of New Orleans and its people the last seven months, political chaos has ruled.
The FEMA ruling ensures that nation and the world will now watch the horror of as thousands of New Orleanains rushing like Sudanese in the rainy season to rebuild their homes under the immediate the fear and real threat of the next big hurricane hitting the city and flooding out their dreams. The Oval Office is freeing itself and the Republican party of difficult political task of forcing the oil and chemical companies to pay for a real environmental clean up of petrochemical toxins to make way for serious rebuilding.
The next serious or hurricane in or near New Orleans will backfilled the Lower Ninth Ward forcing the to once again to leave. The inundation will be played as national new and seal the fate of many Black communities are little more than toxic waste dumps.
With no major investments or industry coming into the region, many Northern Gulf of Mexico communities have been forced to turn to reinvest their life savings into
levee-less suicide French country style urban communities.
These levee-less French styled cheap modular communities are one storm away from another Biloxi nightmare New York Times and other newspaper are reporting on the so-called ÓNew UrbanismÔ in which former industrial towns in southern Louisiana and Mississippi have been hollowed out of their industries and are being forced to downsize to Óhistoric theme developmentÔ shells depopulated by their working classes and Black segments.
The systemic destruction of Black private homes in New Orleans continues unabated. The new boom town rush will show the world, the raw Darwinian aspects of inner city redevelopment. Work class people are incasing unablerebuildbild in New Orleans because of lack of public schools employmentites to support renting or buying a home.
The strategic industrial debate of what kind of postindustrial economy that has reemerged in New Orleans is quieting moving forward with little serious Black input.
Many in the Black media ask who is driving this train? Need only look to New York Öbased oil companies.
Having been publicly discredited in the national media, New Orleans city government is now pushing false hopes and programmed failure, rather than urban planning. This wild wild west approach to urban planning is being done, while the application for a second massive multinational waste management group, Newport Environmental Services (NES) LLC, which owns a 700-area parcel along Paris Road are being push through various levels of local, state and federal government. The project is 9 times the size of the Chef Menteur landfill. The NES Group has also applied for a state permit and two federal permits needed to open the landfill.
The new landfills in East New Orleans are the latest in a series of pre-Katrina carefully designed political moves by the oil lobby to fast track removal of toxic petrochemical debris removal from the New Orleans in order to save the multinational oil companies billions and limited legal exposure. Over five million tons of debris has been force into the city dump at Gentilly and other dumps located in the city.
The New Orleans region has reportedly over 55 million cubic yards of waste that must be removed and nowhere to legally dump in the city of New Orleans. While the human drama of the New Orleans boom town is watch daily by the nation and the world, illegal the petrochemical waste and missing human bodies will disappear at night into waste dumps in east New Orleans
