Bush trying to make $$$ off New Orleans poor...

From Facing South:

BUSH ADMINISTRATION OKS DEMOLITION OF NEW ORLEANS PUBLIC HOUSING COMPLEXES:

Despite a severe shortage of affordable housing along the Gulf Coast, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development has approved a plan to tear down four public housing complexes in New Orleans and replace them with mixed-income developments with less space for the poor.

U.S. Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La.) says HUD is pushing forward with the tear-downs at the same time Congress is considering legislation that would require replacement housing.
