What major changes have there been / took place because of Katrina?</q> <br /><br /> New Orleans mostly feels recovered to me, but A) I only visit and B) I think a lot of the remaining damage has become the new normal. I mean, my parents still don't have kitchen cabinets or counters and it's just, like, whatever. <br /><br /> <span class="cut-wrapper"><span style="display: none;" id="span-cuttag___1" class="cuttag"></span><b class="cut-open">(&nbsp;</b><b class="cut-text"><a href="https://sofiaviolet.dreamwidth.org/510906.html#cutid1">kinda disjointed</a></b><b class="cut-close">&nbsp;)</b></span><div style="display: none;" id="div-cuttag___1" aria-live="assertive"></div><br /><br /> I have no info on how the surrounding areas are doing; I expect the city itself is one of the most highly-recovered areas. <br /><br /> It doesn't feel the same, but it doesn't feel wrong or broken or irreparably damaged.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=sofiaviolet&ditemid=510906" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments
