      <![CDATA[My family and I moved here 20 years ago.<br>
And it’s been the best of times and the worst of times”…<br>
Does that make my input any more valid than Jim Coningsbys, Alan Williams, or others.<br>
Who cares!!!! <br>
New Orleans is the "land of misfit toys"- Ya fit or Ya don't.<br>
We are also at a major crossroads and loose a football field of sand through an hourglass every 38 minutes.<br>
So even though I despise the arrogant stupidity of the Exploit Us Right crowd that came with Brad Pitt, I will defend their right to pay property tax and join the club.<br>
+ Who’s to say all they “yelp” is wrong, when all we do is tragically sacrifice 5 year old little girls our Deity’s of dysfunction?<br>
Our house is on fire and we through gas and prey for rain.<br>
Problems need solutions:<br>
Yes the YELP of Exploiters and kumbyonics are bad, but so is Nagonimics and roping off the neutral ground with tents and caution tape.<br>
Manners matter too many; where have they gone?<br>
I love this place and don’t want to loose it to Beltway Bullies, American Idols, or another storm- as Jane Jacobs said- “ideology is enemy, have open mind, listen…”<br>
Let’s use what they can bring to the table as long the gumbo tastes good at a reasonable price.<br>
Best from Freret,<br>
AB<br>

      <![CDATA[I'm confused by one thing here: what is with the war on vegans? I'm pretty sure that the *one* vegan restaurant that's here (which is incidentally housed in a well-established bar) isn't threatening anyone else's business.

      <![CDATA[With the exception of maybe one person, none of the people who are shown on Neighborland's home page even remotely look like native New Orleanians or even long time transplants. With rare exceptions, most of the people who have moved here to "help" rebuild New Orleans have no intention on returning New Orleans to our way of life.

      <![CDATA[Bywater suffered a hulking abandoned building at the river for almost 2 decades. For years it was alternately a crack house and place to stash stolen construction tools and lawn furniture while the owner Sean Cummings held Bywater in contempt and courted politicians, most notably soon to be indicted Ray Nagin.

      <![CDATA[Disclaimer:  I was only here for about a year before the storm so feel free to snipe. I am usually in a weird position because I am one of those who started my own non-profit to help rebuild people's homes which is an industry that is mostly occupied by visiting 'do-gooders', something I've tried to lean against by prioritizing hiring people from here, but that's not always the result.

      <![CDATA["New Orleans became a blank slate after Hurricane Katrina struck in 2005" That one line is so thoughtless and offensive- that there's no need to even read the rest of the article. Clearly the author -much like most of the tourists now ruining the Bywater has no idea what New Orleans really is. They don't eat the food or drink the water.
