Repartion sheeeet, " Thaaaaaat would surely be an injustice. - NORTHSIDIAN SHOTGUN Sun, 17 Oct 2010 18:27:23 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/9-indnews/7082-mellowed-joie#comment-11411 Keller, LaSala and Giles get to run the show. HAAA!!! There are enough people challenging this project and going over their heads that any such days are now OVER! They have believed their own propoganda and thought this would be an easy and cheap project and they are already proven wrong! - realitychecks Sat, 16 Oct 2010 15:38:00 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/9-indnews/7082-mellowed-joie#comment-11407 Sorry ragin cajun. When it comes to Acadiana Outreach our local politicians bow down and grant all wishes with no questions asked. Keller, LaSala and Giles get to run the show. The long time residents do not matter. Any historically recognized sites do not matter. - Stalin Sat, 16 Oct 2010 07:06:16 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/9-indnews/7082-mellowed-joie#comment-11386 What control do the council and mayor have over this housign project? What is the councilmembers' position on this? Durel's? "they will sign no contract for security and neighborhood benefits. " Would not our city government, planning and zoning, force this group to make some commitments before they build something like this? If a business were to set up in the neighborhood, and they were using toxic chemicals that could be dangerous, I'm sure the city would want to see permits, and safety plans, and disposal plans, and hazmat spill response plans, and written evidence of planning and coordination with fire department and other first responders. Same thing for this, right? Somebody at the city must have done all this, and your councilman could get that information for you. Police Department has some plan, some knowledge of the building/development. - ragin_cajun Fri, 15 Oct 2010 09:57:58 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/9-indnews/7082-mellowed-joie#comment-11371 A lot less mouths this article, a lot less foam. - Buckley Thu, 14 Oct 2010 14:46:04 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/9-indnews/7082-mellowed-joie#comment-11357 Need a new developer...and a new architect, too. - The Holy Goofus Thu, 14 Oct 2010 12:36:19 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/9-indnews/7082-mellowed-joie#comment-11342 “It’s about how you market,” Gachassin says. “It’s about who you target. And it’s about how you set yourself up.” NO! It's about what the state requires done with these funds! Anything awarded this year requires preferential status to Katrina Evacuees; that would create a permanent 9th Ward downtown. "Marketing" is about propoganda to get this thing passed! AOC's connection was not disclosed in the beginning and every presentation seems to morph. We have experienced the "marketing" of AOC "clients" for years as merely poor women and children, when the truth is, they deal with people with serious criminal histories; our serial murderer was their "client"; listing AOC as a home address! The "marketing" in this article almost seems like AOC and Gacchassin are cooperating with the neighborhood. Yet, they will sign no contract for security and neighborhood benefits. So, at this point, it's just "talk" about what "might" come around. People released from prison or avoiding jail under the guise of "rehab" have children, don't they? Half truths and ommissions make the whole project suspect! - realitychecks Thu, 14 Oct 2010 09:10:48 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/9-indnews/7082-mellowed-joie#comment-11329 Thanks Ragin Cajun. - Krista Fontenot Thu, 14 Oct 2010 06:39:53 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/9-indnews/7082-mellowed-joie#comment-11326 All hail Hector LaSala, the righteous ULL professor who is right in claiming all who are against this project hate poor people! LaSala and Chavez, our great leaders!! - Stalin Wed, 13 Oct 2010 21:34:55 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/9-indnews/7082-mellowed-joie#comment-11325 Someone should question the Greenambulanceman, if there is a project within the boundarys of jodu'nt domain, the greenman has bid on it and by now he has a tenured union card and has tied up all the concessions and all the doug ashy nailbags ! - NORTHSIDIAN SHOTGUN Wed, 13 Oct 2010 21:26:27 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/9-indnews/7082-mellowed-joie#comment-11314 Krista Fontenot -- You make very good points, most of which I hadn't thought about--especially the schools. I remember when I lived in New Orleans, the big push was to tear down the projects and scatter the tenants to single family housing all over the city. The idea was that it was better for all involved if they weren't "warehoused" like you said. - ragin_cajun Wed, 13 Oct 2010 19:39:25 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/9-indnews/7082-mellowed-joie#comment-11313 I live in this neighborhood and they have not won us over. A few misquided individuals who own property here, but dont' live here are for it. But they don't suffer the day to day drama of AOC's clients like we do. They did bring us Jeffery Lee Guillory after all. Also isnit this the same Greg Gachassin who built the leaky roofs and peeling ceiling at Antoine Gardens? If they are focusing on families, what schools are they going to. Have the addressed this issue? Are they going to give people rides on Sunday when the buses aren't running? This plan is not well thought out at all. If AOC is running this facility aren't they going to use it as a halfway house like they use the other properties they bought in this neighborhood? Which were bought under the name of shell corporations. This is an impending DISASTER for this neighborhood and the downtown. Just imagine the panhandeling an apartment complex full of AOC's clients can accomplish. If they want to help, why aren't they building Habitat for Humanity type houseing insead of warehousing? More money in warehousing! - Krista Fontenot Wed, 13 Oct 2010 16:21:36 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/9-indnews/7082-mellowed-joie#comment-11311 Joie De Vivre really means "the projects in new French" - Captain Underpants Wed, 13 Oct 2010 14:44:11 +0100
