The lower ninth ward had many families that live within the blocks of each other or on the same street - great-grandmother, grandmother, sons, daughters, children, grandchildren, who did not have the means to get out. The whole response was a giant cluster-f**k and many people died. Several parts of the city are still devastated and will never be rebuilt. But, I ask again - where do want the river traffic to go?
