Nagin Nixes Project
New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin has suspended a Federal Emergency Management Agency construction project to provide housing for 34 single mothers and their children who were left homeless by Hurricane Katrina — after neighborhood residents complained the mobile homes were too close to their houses.
The New York Times reports that homeowners in the gated community protested the site last weekend, carrying signs accusing FEMA of “raping” the neighborhood. Nagin responded by calling the construction “unacceptable” and disrespectful and blaming FEMA for bullying city workers. But a FEMA spokesman says they’re puzzled by the mayor’s outrage since Nagin personally approved the site just a few months ago.
