i think one other thing thats not taken into account and i'm sorry if someone's already mentioned it - that so many former residents have just not chosen to return back

so if u imagine ur street - devestated. u go back home and clean up - so does aobut 5 other ppl. but then the remainin 50 decide not to show up - its a prety hard job cleanin all that on ur own.

one other thing is that the slow build has happend due to america's fingers being burnt in the past b4. not sure what hurricane it was in the 90's but it caused alot of devestation. america united all gung ho and loads of builders from around the statescame to help

only thing was some of these builders barely knew what a hammer was yet were chargin extortion. this thing happend in florida i do remmeber that.
