Decades of terrible decision-making, governance, and avoidance, not to mention ignorance. Oh well, at least it was all democratic, almost. I visited the worst Katrina-hit areas in 2009 to interview some of the people involved in cleanup, prevention, and planning. The stories of stonewalling never ended.
