On the other hand, Singelmann said, poor African American neighborhoods that straddle the prosperous Garden District show a much higher concentration of recovered bodies than the Garden District itself. One reason, he said, may be that low-income residents lacked cars to flee in or the resources to pay for a safe refuge outside the city. And the Garden District sits on some of the city's highest land. The Garden District is THE wealthy neighborhood in NO. It was barely touched by the flood waters whereas the 9th district was totally under water. The author makes the point even when he's not trying. Thank you. Tim, there will always be exceptions to everything. Nonetheless, the general observation remains true.......the poor of NO suffered much worse than the rich. And even if the rich did suffer equally, they have the means through insurance and gov't contacts to recover much faster than the poor. ted
