I haven't read that. He is very passionate about N0 and mostly directs his criticisms at Congress.

And to their credit, the people like Brad Pitt are trying to replace the homes with ones that are very similar to the homes that were destroyed.

We don't count them an enemy at all, and they have been far more supportive of the rebuilding than a good number of members of Congress, who seem to think that New Orleans had no business being rebuilt.We'll have to agree to disagree on how the rebuilding is going. They have torn down some significant public housing that the poor people needed and haven't replaced it.
