Relocating Katrina victims to Massachusetts?
There's a meeting tomorrow (Sunday) to discuss long-term housing for Katrina victims in the Northeast:
A lot of people have mentioned to me over the last couple days that no one will want to come up here - it's too far, people won't want to leave the area where they've lived. I disagree. There's at least - at least - 500,000 people left homeless. Probably more. Some will not be going back to their homes for months, if even then. New Orleans won't even be drained, they estimate, for up to 80 days, and that's not even close to what is needed to rebuild the city for habitation, as the city's infrastructure is so damaged and the water spread toxins across the flooded areas and will need to be dealt with. Many were living in poverty to begin with, and so own nothing and have no home to be reimbursed for. ...
3 p.m. at the Technology Center, 359 Columbus Ave.
