Life Under the Klan Wasn't This Bad: Gitmo on the Mississippi Sometimes the injustices here in New Orleans leave me numb. But the continuing debacle of our criminal justice system inspires in me a sense of indignation I thought was lost to cynicism long ago. Ursula Price, a staff investigator for the indigent defense organization A Fighting Chance, has met with several thousand hurricane survivors who were imprisoned at the time of the hurricane, and her stories chill me "I grew up in small town Mississippi," she tells me.

Real estate developers, land speculators, property owners, favored nonprofit groups, and Mayor Newsom have the most to gain from expanding Redevelopment, while non-subsidized tenants, small business owners, seekers of affordable homeownership, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, and taxpayers citywide have the most to lose.
