[StBernard] Fines

[Westley Annis]

DARYL,

THAT'S WHAT I'M SCREAMING...AFTER THE HOUSES ARE DEMO'D WE WILL SEE 
COMPLAINTS
ABOUT THE SLABS..IF AND WHEN THE SLABS ARE GONE THEN WE WILL HEAR COMPLAINTS
ABOUT WEEDS ON THE VACANT LOTS...THOSE WHO HAVE CHOSEN TO GO BACK AND LIVE 
IN UNCERTAIN CONDITIONS
ARE GOING TO SUFFER FROM THOSE UNCERTAIN CONDITIONS IF THEY HAVE NOT COME TO

TERMS WITH THE FACT THAT THINGS ARE NEVER GOING TO BE THE SAME AS THEY WERE
BEFORE KATRINA...THESE FOLKS SHOULD SERIOUSLY CONSIDER MOVING WHERE THEY 
WILL
BE AT PEACE.   LIFE IS TOO SHORT

AS FAR AS UNKEPT HOUSES KEEPING PROPERTY VALUES DOWN AND REBUILT HOUSES
FROM SELLING ,  I WOULD SAY THAT THOSE FACTORS ARE ONLY ONE PART OF THE 
EQUATION.
A BIG GROUP OF PEOPLE HAVE MADE THE DECISON NOT TO REBUILD IN ST BERNARD.   
SUPPLY AND DEMAND MAKES VALUES GO UP...IF THE OUTLOOK FOR DEVELOPMENT WAS 
FAVORABLE,
MANY HOMES WOULD BE TURNED OVER TO THOSE INTERSTED IN INVESTING .   SOME 
HAVE BEEN AND THEY REMAIN FOR SALE MONTHS AFTER COMPLETION....

THE PEOPLE THAT CHOSE TO RETURN HAVE MANY PROBLEMS TO FACE.  I FEEL THEY ARE
FRUSTRATED AND DOUBTING THE DECISION THEY HAVE MADE. THEY ARE LOOKING FOR 
SOME ONE TO BLAME FOR THEIR UNHAPPINESS...SO THEY COMPLAIN ABOUT THEIR 
NEIGHBORS.
