Brilliant concept,
In New Orleans it's painfully obvious we cannot rely on the city government to communicate accurate information about the state of recovery--not only is the information easily politicized, the city is probably overwhelmed with the enormity of the rebuilding task (I'm being generous). Alan is right that community neighborhood groups are leading the redevelopment charge, both in organizing collective action but also in disseminating information so that individuals can make informed decisions. And as Rob Goodspeed points out, if it can work in New Orleans, it can work elsewhere.
Thanks to everyone involved in developing this project.
