Lessons from Ground Zero
October 14th, 2005

People on the Gulf Coast seeking to rebuild their communities can learn from what has happened in New York City since 9/11, writes David Dyssegaard Kallick of the Fiscal Policy Institute in The Nation. “In New York we saw program after program that heightened inequality rather than reducing it,” he writes. While New Orleans residents are correct to be wary of corruption, he cautions, “In New York the worst abuses happened right out in the open, with billions of dollars in public funds subsidizing huge companies and gentrifying neighborhoods. It would be a further tragedy if this were the result on the Gulf Coast.”
