I don't know the dude, but my distinct impression gleaned from some awareness of local news over multiple decades is that in New Orleans, he's the absolute top and most regular / frequent person involved in ... well I'll be nice and call them "questionable" business deals involving government entities and quasi-public projects. And he's often whining about something and/or trying to elbow his way into projects and contracts where he neither has real expertise nor is fronting a substantial fraction of the money.

I’m so confused why they’re so determined to make it into anything, if not for the desire to misappropriate some funds. The location is and always was dog shite. Highest and best use is probably a landfill or pole yard or something. Or a wild idea, let it just be a wetland like the Lord intended.

There is no reason to rebuild that place or to spend any money in that area. It is a desolate and dangerous place that should be avoided at all cost. In fact, build a wall around it.

Sort of like the Astrodome. Political corruption at its finest. Lot of great ideas, but as soon as those ideas realize how many pockets they have to grease, it falls by the waist side.
Yet people still choose to live in a shithole.

New Orleans Redevelopment Authority? Yeah, I’m sure that’s filled with competent, merit based employees. I’ll blindly side with the engineering/construction team lol

They are for sure doing something. Stealing any federal money designated to redevelop the site. They never forget that step
