*New Orlean back on their feet?*

On august 29, 2005 hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans with devistating force causing a massive flood and a lot of people to die. Naturally we expect ourselves to help one another and heal ourselves before we play as a savior for another country. But in this case the united states didn't offer as much help as New Orleans needed.
It's been close to five years after and we still rarely hear about how they are doing. They have built up their city again and are back in action but it seems like the number of murders and murderers and robbers and such have gone up. All over the New Orleans news paper I saw tons of articles about how someone's going to jail for something or how the people are still trying to find murderers and about people being shot. They may have built their city back up but they have deffinatly lowered themselves morally to the ground.
The levees were the reason why hurricane Katrina destroyed as much as it did. They were made for 3 point storms which wasn't strong enough and the design was poor. After the hurrican the people built it up again. But exactly how it was before. They should have changed the style of the levees because the previous style obviously didn't work and they are still too weak if some disaster comes up in that area again.
