A triumph at every level — reporting, tone, perspective — I couldn't recommend it more. And though [Nathaniel] Rich doesn't directly address it, beneath the surface looms the bigger issue — the recovery of the land is not going to take good and competent managers but something more transcendent: the "big idea" that no one has come up with yet. Who knows if that will happen.

For those who say that the Lower Ninth Ward shouldn't have been rebuilt, Lakeview is probably the more dangerous area to live in, as it's several feet lower than the Lower Ninth — really is below sea level. But I don't hear anyone saying it shouldn't have been rebuilt. Because Lakeview is more affluent (and almost entirely white), it has had more opportunity and resources to rebuild and therefore looks quite nice these days.
