CNN had a 5 minute story this morn on a woman who's living in relative comfort in the "Warehouse" district. Her building suffered no damage...at all. Not even minimal flooding. In any case she just about condemned the mayor for his lack of planning, explaining that infinitely more thought has gone into planning a new sports arena. She's also extremely upset that she'll likely be forced out of her home.

Solidad O'brian (sp) agreed with the Atlanta anchor that this person places a burden on some other system, the dwelling will need to be monitored for security and resources that are needed for others will be expended on her.

My impression is that the mayor wants to show absolute control to save face for a neglected recovery plan. IMO, it's unnecessary and misguided.
