[QUOTE="Tom Schindler, post: 545607, member: 56140"] Again, I know what she ment, but I do not agree with her comment. It is like having a big fire in a poverished neighborhood. Well, those people are better off, they lived in crappy homes anyways. The difference was that it was thier home. Those of us that live in a nice neighborhood don't think that those that live in the slums are people too. I grew up in a typical urban neighborhood in the city just outside of downtown. We have prostitutes, drug dealers, crackheads, and just plain old scum. Many people live there because they just can't afford to live anywhere else. Just because they get moved to Houston and will be given a place to stay, money, food, etc. does not mean they will be better off. They lived in government housing and they will again live in government housing. Are going to get a chance to live in a $200,000 home? Nope! They are going to live in the projects just like they did in NO. The only difference is that they will be living in Texas and not in LA. I just don't buy that "better off" crap. I see it as she is out of touch to the way others live and is too ignorant to see it. (And when I say ignorant, I am not talking about her intellect) Tom [/QUOTE]
