Those are good ideas. It IS necessary to have a master plan and the hashing it out WILL take months. The city leaders just need to communicate it better, and tell people not to come back for the foreseeable future, which would be political suicide, so they got a lot of us there now in the devastation zones, just wandering around, with no clear sense of what the future is, for the most basic things, like shelter, utilities, places to eat. I have to temper all these frustrations though, with the reality of my temporariness in New Orleans. I'm a transient, a come and goer. My options cup overfloweth. Still, I can't just disconnect, emotionally, from the future of New Orleans. Anyway, we got those Catholic school girls in the streets, protesting. That sort of cheered me up.
