Replace the case is lost to a slow start
An idea for new housing in post-hurricane, post-flood New Orleans is a small yellow “Katrina Cottage” against a wind of the hurricane. When it is wet inside you just pipe it out - no mold. It costs about $ 35,000.
Another 20000 is a development with a lot of “New Orleans-style” houses on a farm near a golf course in a nearby neighbourhood. The apartments are a cost of $ 150,000 $ 250,000.
A third is an “urban loft” housing development with a swimming pool on the roof edge of the Warehouse District, near the French Quarter. Price is not known.
And the flashiest: A shiny steel and glass tower, 70 stories high, with grundstück it costs much more than one of the above. It would be the highest building in Louisiana. The name of the Trump Tower.
“Everybody’s drooling, waiting for the boom in construction to begin,” said Rick Whitney, a small developer has 16 properties in the area of New Orleans.
This has not occurred.
Despite tentative plans announced by some developers and new flood maps, last week that owners give some indication on how high above the ground for reconstruction, the purgatory of the case has settled the New Orleans, for more than seven months. And it will not be easy quickly.
The construction plans of new rich countries announced so far target buyer, Out-of-towners wanting a “weekend place in downtown New Orleans. They are built in the “high and dry” country of the proximity of the unflooded French Quarter or in a suburb of kilometres.
When construction, it would replace a fraction of nearly 250000 homes in the U-Bahn, was damaged when Hurricane Katrina has torn apart by the end of August and levees failed, flooding some sectors the city to 14 metres above the water.
None of these developments are intended to replace tens of thousands of homes damaged and uninhabitable to lower or middle class areas like the Lower Ninth Ward, Lakeview or St. Bernard Parish.
New houses are built of historic conservation groups and charitable organizations as Habitat for Humanity and Catholic Charities of New Orleans, who announced this month, they would be 4000 to build arrivals and care for the elderly housing. More than 50000 permits have become homeowners in the city to repair their houses, and a lot.
Even if the “Katrina Cottage” would be a substitute for low-income housing, it is only an idea. The cottage is scheduled for today as a “house Sears, as the e-mail homes sold by dealers for first in 1900.
“This is a tale of two cities at this time,” said developer Roger Ogden, co-owner of the Canal Place Mall downtown, which was looted and burned after the hurricanes. It resume in February.
“We have the historic infrastructure, the French Quarter, the Museum District and others, are again open,” he says. “But in outlying suburbs of Orleans and St. Bernard Parish Parish, where flooding caused destruction of mind boggling, not much has not yet happened.
