Haha. You are showing your ignorance.

The Lower 9th is only being developed by Make It Right, which is giving their homes to homeowners who lived there. There is not much else going on over there.

New Orleans has been very hostile to outside developers...and the only development that is going on is either below market rate apartments on Tulane Ave. or the housing projects that are being rebuilt.

A lot of money that was given to lower income families was squandered on other materials, and others who tried to rebuild were ripped off by contractors who disappeared in the year or so after the storm.

If you want to come down here and prove to me that there is some secret plan to gentrify New Orleans and keep the displaced away...bring it. Otherwise, stop talking.
