They’ll never see that money. Fact.

They will never receive any of this.
The city has judgments against them for five thousand dollars that are over a decade old that they haven't paid.
They aren't paying 75 mill.

Describing a ruling as a "score" says alot.
Also, when you have to be told that you have emotional distress, is that really emotional distress?

Yes. People are still living there.
EPA funds were used to clean it up: EPA Superfund Site
From: NOLA.Gov Ag Street Site
The Cantrell Administration is prioritizing quality of life issues for people who live in the Desire Neighborhood that includes the Agriculture St. Landfill Superfund Site. The first step of that initiative is getting the City back on track in regard to the requirements of a 2008 Consent Decree between the City of New Orleans and US Environmental Protection Agency. The agreement, calls for semi-annual maintenance of the undeveloped portion of the Agriculture St. Landfill Superfund Site that is fenced, and the issuance of an annual notice reminding property owners and renters of the sensitive nature of the site.
The City maintains the fenced portion of the property twice a year. Prior to mowing activities, rodent baits will be placed in nearby catch basins to prevent displaced rodents from reaching your property.
The US Environmental Protection Agency, Region 6, completed remediation activities at the landfill in 2002. The remediation work included placing a protective geotextile fabric and 24 inches of clean soil over private property and a geotextile fabric and 18 inches of clean fill over areas covered by sidewalks. The soil below the geotextile fabric is contaminated and should not be handled without protective gloves or clothing. Appendix A of the Consent Decree provides additional instructions for excavating below the fabric.
Residents are reminded that the fence is in place for your protection. Trespassers are subject to prosecution. For more information about the Agriculture St. Superfund Site. Visit the EPA’s website.

They’ll get out on a list and offered 25% of that in 15 years. City if NO doesn’t pay judgments.
We have clients who have judgments against the city who have been waiting for 20 plus years who have only moved up one or two spots on the payment list over that time. These people will never get paid unless political pressure makes it happen.

Since it's a superfund site, does that mean it will get federal dollars to clean up?
Does that mean the land will get put back on the market later after that? How does it get cleaned up?
Feds mitigated it once. Basically capped the whole site. Theoretically it is safe to live on.
It is a strange deal. Not sure the city should be held liable, but it was a municipal landfill nextdoor.
