UNOP
Each time a question get answered about this process another one gets raised. If the current Buzzwords are to be believed we are engaged in an “open and transparent” process.
Becky Houtman
has written a great article on the progression of this “plan”
And Maitri at MetroBlogging adds her voice and analysis to the current meltdown.
The real Battle for New Orleans appears to be taking place while most of us are sweeping and cleaning, anything new in that?

You have a great website and it is great for the community. You should join the disscusions here as well:
New Orleans community blog
Please join in the discussions there and link people back to your blog. There are already a lot of people participating daily. It is a great place to poll the communitie and see how people realy feel about the issues. This should serve to strengthen the new orleans community and NO online commlunity as a whole.
My belief is that to get real transparency in our government and in our planning process we need to get the young folks involved and up to speed on the new paradigms. Teaching only civics in school and not smart growth and new urbanism concepts is like teaching our kids to count to ten without teaching them arithmetic, algebra and calculus and then expecting them to make it in this world.
Help us get those concepts out there! Create an account on live journal and help build a community, an educated community.
Thanks,
