Regular visitors to Confederacy of Dunces will have noticed little activity of late. This is because there really hasn't been much to comment on from our remote location in NJ. It seems there has been no progress towards any resolution of any significant issue in New Orleans. Almost a year after Katrina, Nagin has failed to provide any leadership towards the future. Hard decisions need to be made. The city cannot provide services to every neighborhood in the future; not every resident can afford to rebuild, essentially dooming some areas to failure. These are fundamental decisions that face urban planners in New Orleans. As soon as the mayor realises he can't make everyone happy, the quicker at least some people will be able to move on with their lives.
