while I agree that N.O. was a missed opportunity, China is probably not the role model we should be looking to. The "forward-thinking" urban planning surrounding the olympics displaced many Beijing residents and did little to improve the lives of anyone else. In short, the two cities are actually quite similar in their abandonment of their citizens, its just that one had more glamorous results.
