Oh, and like Loren said, there are pockets of places that were hit harder then others. Lakeview, for example only has a handful of houses rebuild, and some of those are empty. Lakeview was an exclusive area of town, with houses starting at 500k, and it was also the site of a levee breach. The subdivision is like a ghost town. Very few people have even started to rebuild there. Keep in mind, all those federal dollars have yet to trickle down. I did the math the other day, and out of the billions in federal aid, that comes to about 4-500k a person. I can tell you I haven't seen dollar one, and don't really expect to. It seems they could make a lot of these issues go away by simply rebuilding people's homes and businesses, but apparently, that approach makes too much sense.
