Yes, that’s right.  Katrina recovery.  It’s still going on after all these years.  Katrina raises so many issues that it can be hard to decide what to focus on.  We chose the Katrina Cottage issue in part because it just seems so absurd — a solution to the housing crisis which has been going on for half a decade is sitting right in front of our eyes, but is still not being used.  It is the same toxic combination of cruelty and incompetence that has characterized so much of governments’ (federal, state, and local) response to Katrina.
