It is utterly important to bridge the gap between what is visionary and conceptual and what will actively effect real social and economic change to preserve the city and most importantly its inhabitants and those that want to come back. If this in indeed a great opportunity for the city, educate and engage the locals about this event starting now, so that hey might be able to develop new opportunites for themselves for economic involvement in this momumental event. Lastly, I'd like to say that we must remember that New Orleans is a very very spiritual place and that the Ninth Ward is now like burial ground for many many lives lost in Katrina, including my grandfather. There are deep psychological and emotional considerations that need to be addressed as well. thank you..
