Where will the evacuees from New Orleans go? After all, their former homes are ruined, or even still underwater, right?
True. But according to Naomi Klein in The Nation, in the high-and-dry (okay, high-and-kinda-moist) sections of the city, there is vacant housing for a third or more of the people currently living in shelters.
There is a reason those units were vacant, sometimes for years.
And there is a reason why the various schemes for rebuilding the city make no mention of that vacant housing.
Not only that, but it's the same reason that Halliburton and friends prefer their own ideas about how to rebuild.
What could that reason be?
