Bill Quigley is a good, principled guy, even though he is a far left winger. But he's exaggerating for effect here and he knows it. The Ninth Ward will never be gentrified so long as the levees are not fixed and cannot withstand a cat. 4 or 5 storm, unless the gentry is of the lunatic variety. Plus, there are plenty of gentrified places that didn't flood. Why would anyone take such an absurd chance? Don't know why folks aren't being allowed in, but I suspect the slumlords are evicting for simple nonpayment of rent; they may want to rebuild and rent at higher rates. The new tenants are unlikely to be gentry but folks who are rebulding NO, perhaps lots of Hispanics.
