Seems like people acquire cars for free all everyday in Orleans. Doubt it's much of a hurdle to get one in a life or death scenario
Their Grammaws don't, though. They will expect the city to get them out of harm's way if necessary.

How many people do you think live in Orleans parish that cannot drive? I can tell you it isn’t hundreds of thousands
The number of people who
1) Have a DL
2) Have access to a car
3) Have access to a car that can actually make a 100 mile or more drive without falling apart
4) Can afford the gas for such a drive
5) Can afford to get a hotel room for several days
I'd say half the city falls in that category.

On the drive to evacuate the city, it was amazing how many vehicles were broken down on the side of the road

One of the funniest post Katrina stories. NOPD lost hundreds of squad cars to flood waters. They told some officers it was OK to go to a dealership, find the keys and take some cars. Totally reasonable as there was a plan to account for and pay the dealership later. Those officers went straight to the Cadillac dealership and took every single $80,000+ Escalade along with a bunch of expensive sedans. This wasn't rumor, I witnessed it.
TheCommand Staff was pissed. They had imagined the officers would go get Chevy trucks or something reasonable. I think FEMA ended up covering the bill for that fiasco.

Nah. I’m not saying those people are insignificant. But I’d cut that number in half
Even still, everyone remained pretty safe.
Post storm recovery should be the focus here. Y’all still harping on insignificant shite
There's that Saban-level defense of Latoya we knew you had...

We left St Bernard at 3 am on Saturday (I didn't trust the levees). Tons of cars broke down on the side of the road, people standing outside them freaking out, etc. Every single time causing a slow-down in traffic.

Left around the same time, saw a car stopped in the left lane at the end of the bonnet carre and a person standing out front of it next the the center line of the road on the phone...not sure how she wasn't killed.

I drove through Kenner and Laplace for the first time yesterday. Really eye opening as to how much a 10-15 mile nudge of this thing eastward could have made a pretty huge difference for the main part of the city.
I also recognize how a "mandatory" evacuation call can so often be a damned if you do, damned if you don't type deal. But, it still seems clear how lucky the city likely got with this one.

She is such a piece of shite.

Ooh, that she can stand up for herself? Our leaders used to know enough to walk away in times like this. Now, they want to fight back.
Yep
As a female, black mayor, she’s able to lash out and get a full pass from the liberals who subscribe to the politics of gender and race. Throw some alcohol in there and she is emboldened to bash people over the head with it.
She can rationalize it all she wants externally but when she wakes up in the morning, the little voice inside her oversized head is telling her the truth: “you drink too much”

That woman is an utter embarrassment - women and black people should be the first in line to kick her arse to the curb

New Orleans is a welfare city with a bunch of trial lawyers, an increasingly insignificant number of bankers, some insurance presence, hospitality employers and government workers. It's value to the state and the country as a City is really very little. The Port is an entity of it's own and would function if the city became a ghost town.
The people there are electing the kind of government they want. They don't seem to mind if the sewers work or the trash is picked up nor do they care that the political class has ridiculous perks like taxpayer funded cars and drivers. The feds bail out this mismanaged cities every day.
I tell my white friends that live there to quit bitching about it or move. I think they are all coming to the realization that no politician in the city cares if white people live there or not.
Fewer and fewer people have any empathy for New Orleans. (It wouldn't do for the Saints to ask the state for more money right now.)
Quit bitching about LaToya if you live there---the people you have elected to live amongst like her.

In a weird way, I kinda respect her. Nasty bitch but you got to respect that she would defend herself. Dude at the bar should have been ready, she has a reputation for doing things like that.

Most of the people bitching about Latoya in this thread don't live here.
The ones that do are way more measured in their responses. They understand the true issues much more than the people who don't live here.

He should have told her to frick off and get out of his face.

I’m not sure a lot of people realize this. For all intents and purposes, NOLA was spared from the storm.

Yeah it left me wanting for a better response. He was cowed.
