A few politicians and ‘old boys’ wouldn’t be as rich.
Also, thank Katrina for Texas never offering to help La again unless they are forced to.

Westbank and Slidell would have less crime if it weren’t for everyone that moved from NO East

It would probably be the same shite hole with terrible infrastructure. Just with 400,000 people instead of 300,000 people.

Statues would still be up.

We wouldn’t have Drew Brees. But Six Flags would still be open

We wouldn't have Zion, but we'd probably have the statues

Katrina cleaned out a lot of the old money guard. also gave the city a great chance to rebuild.
The vacuum left behind by the old money guard leaving has been filled by some folks who are learning why the old folks were the way they were.
LaToya Cantrell was elected so in another ten years or so things will be like they were during the 80's oil bust.

Sad thing is, Nagin had actually figured how to forge a path to victory almost completely outside of racial grievance politics. If he could have found away to keep going forward that way and not succumbing to the kind of corruption they brought him down post-Katrina, I really think the city would have been a much better place.

People forget that Nagin endorsed Bobby Jindal in his first run for Governor

Nah, Tom Benson would, however, have gotten a new stadium on the Riverfront where Mardi Gras World currently sits.

My aunt is a retired nurse living in Houston. 14 years after Katrina she still bitches about Katrina refugees stealing medical supplies from her ER in Houston following the storm.

100% agree with this. Plus he came from private industry. As uje, once you get into the swamp you find its more of a really nice hot tub with all kinds of perks and next thing you know its all you know.

Pretty much. A little bigger, a little more ghetto in the city and a little less ghetto on the westbank.
