The Lower 9th Ward, New Orleans, January 2007

To compare to the "uninhabitability" of the Lafitte projects in the previous post.






UPDATE:

According to this Yahoo! article, Mardi Gras this year is "Close to Normal." Fortunately, the parade routes do not cover this area of New Orleans, so revelers get to enjoy New Orleans resurrection absent the very real fact that the city is still very much hurt.
