>To comment on John Richardson's paragraph:

>

>"There are too many homes that remain in the same condition as the day 

>after

>the flood.  Many homeowners need more time to make a decision, however I

>would bet the majority of those that have not gutted their homes have no

>intention of returning, and are not considering the impact to those wishing

>to rebuild in St. Bernard. "

>

>I agree that too many homes remain in the same condition as the day after

>the flood, mine is one of them, but it is NOT because I have no intention 

>of

>returning nor is it for lack of consideration of others, it is simply

>because the government (on so many levels) have not given me the 

>information

>I need to make an intelligent decision.

>

>I do not have the time or the money to gut my house right now.  Every 

>minute

>counts and every penny counts.  I have children to raise.  I am in survival

>mode and must first consider the immediate needs of my family.

>

>Mr. Richardson's situation is probably different from most of the other

>citizens in the Parish.  If he lives in Corinne Estates, he probably has a

>different financial situation than many others in the Parish.

>

>It is wonderful that Mr. Richardson's situation allows him to get back into

>his house, but he must consider that his situation is not the same as mine

>nor many others in the Parish.

>

>I am very homesick, but I am homesick for something that no longer exists.
