Katrina and Kelo-----

One Blog site, click on the post above, suggests that as a result of the Kelo v. New London case, governments involved in the Katrina hurricane could just seize all the homes affected and sell the property for condo development.

This may explain why some of the "pundits" interviewed were real positive on the idea of rebuilding on the low land. They could get great deals on the eminent domain land and would have an incentive for doing something crazy like building in the swamp and letting the cycle go on and on.

It may be difficult to get folks to have the incentive to get the proper buffer and build on new higher ground.

What do you think? Should government redevelopment money be restricted to the high ground? You make the call.
