the biggest "wtf" in the logic of these people (i'm talking about the Banks, Marcelle, SWB, Gary Chambers, etc group) is the assumption that public investment is what makes areas economically prosperous. public investment is small potatoes and until private investment gets involved, there won't be improvements

Was one of my first thoughts as well.
The MC didn't decide what businesses were started in SBR or where they were placed. That was done by the owners and/or investors. Perkins Rowe was not the brain child of the MC looking for new retail/medical/entertainment/residential facilities. This isn't Sim City.
They complain that there are no grocery stores in NBR despite it being a gold mine for foodstuff potential yet no stores are being built. They refuse to acknowledge the fact that no one wants to invest in a side of town that has no interest in investing in itself.

also,
They state that white people move out when black people move in.
This is simply not true. White people move out when the crime starts to get bad.
Of course, it is one of the world's great wonders that these two events almost always...... seem to happen concurrently.

If that was true than New Orleans East would be a national wealth capital powerhouse.
