The Council believe they have to do this, a few days before xmas, in order to make way for new development. The new development will not be public housing. Additionally, they are doing this as FEMA begins vacating trailers, evicting people as million dollar homes are built above the flood line.

This Country is headed going to loose its middle class if things do not change.

Under the plan, the city’s four largest public housing developments will be razed and replaced with mixed-income housing. Hundreds of people were turned away from the City Council meeting. Police shot protesters with pepper spray and tasers. We go to New Orleans to speak with two local community activists and a former SWAT commander.
