Alphonso R. Jackson, secretary of housing and urban development, during a visit with hurricane victims in Houston, said New Orleans would not reach its pre-Katrina population of 500,000 people for a long time, and it’s not going to be as black as it was for a long time, if ever again.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t(…) <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\t\u00bb Mr. Jackson, whose remarks were reported by the Houston Chronicle, said New Orleans might reach a population of 375,000 people sometime late next year with a black population of about 40 percent at the highest, down from 67 percent before Hurricane Katrina sent a storm surge that overwhelmed New Orleans levees and flooded 80 percent of the city.<\/em> <\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bb The population of New Orleans before Katrina was a little less than 500,000, surrounded by large, predominantly white suburbs. The largely black Ninth Ward and the predominantly white middle-class Lakeview section near Lake Pontchartrain were overwhelmed by floodwaters.<\/em> <\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bb Mr. Jackson, a former developer and longtime government housing official, said the history of urban reconstruction projects shows that most blacks will not return and others who want to might not have the means or opportunity. His agency will play a critical role in the city’s redevelopment through various grant programs, including those for damaged or destroyed properties.<\/em> \u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
