You say you were ordspråk

en You say you were surprised by the fact that so many people didn't make it out. It's no surprise to anyone that you had at least 100,000 people in the city of New Orleans who are dirt poor, who don't have cars, who don't have access to public transportation, who don't have any way to get out of the city simply just because someone says there is a Force 5 hurricane coming, you ought to get out. If you didn't have the buses there to get them out, why should it be a surprise to you that they stayed?

en One of the ideals of this City Council is to be the least dependent on cars in the country. It's very frustrating to have the kind of traffic we do, especially when you see so many commuters driving alone. If we could convince more people to take public transportation to work, that would be great for this city.

en It's so easy to say they should have just left, but it's not that easy. Many of the people who live there are actually dirt-poor people who don't own automobiles. A lot of them don't own homes. They're surviving day by day. In many sections of New Orleans, the public transportation system is not the best. How were they supposed to get out?

en I would say it did surprise me. When I heard Toronto was interested in talking to him, that didn't surprise me. The fact that he wanted to pursue it surprised me.

en What I said was not that we didn't anticipate that there's a possibility the levees will break. What I said was, in this storm, what happened is, the storm passed and passed without the levees breaking on Monday. Tuesday morning, I opened newspapers and saw headlines that said 'New Orleans Dodged the Bullet,' which surprised people. What surprised them was that the levee broke overnight and the next day and, in fact, collapsed. That was a surprise.

en Those who could not get out were the poor, who rely on public buses to get out! Your website says that your department assumes primary responsibility for a national disaster - if you knew a hurricane three storm was coming, why were buses, trains, planes ... provided on Friday, Saturday, Sunday to evacuate people before the storm?

en Anthony Williams gave the city a facelift, but he didn't lift up the rest of the city, ... You know what he was telling the city with all this development? He was telling the poor people to get out because none of them can afford to live in the Washington, D.C., he was creating.

en New Orleans had devastation prior to the hurricane. We were warning them that the city was heading to catastrophe, but we got the hurricane instead. There is no economic base for black folks. They're supposed to wait tables for $5 an hour. And people are surprised there's poverty and rage?

en Since the hurricane, there is a new 'normal' in Baton Rouge. We have become Louisiana's largest city. We went from 350,000 to 600,000 in a few days. There is gridlock at many intersections as New Orleans people struggle in a new city. There have been rumors of increased crime, desperate people wandering the streets.

en This happens over and over again in terms of class disparity — the working-class and the poor fall between the cracks when big disasters happen. The elderly, disabled, people who have mental disabilities, who are on public assistance and the poor. This can apply to recent immigrants who have English as a second language too — people in Mississippi (before Hurricane Katrina) who spoke Spanish didn't evacuate because they didn't have the language.

en I might have surprised some people, but I didn't surprise myself. Ergonomics knowledge can be found on livet.se. I'm definitely anxious to go back out there.

en Them older people... they didn't think you could make it in no kind of city. They think if you get in the city-starvation.

en People say the city will recover, and the question is, whose city? Is it the city that the tourists see or is it the broader city that really only came to the nation's consciousness after the hurricane?

en It comes in handy in situations like that. People always expect you to be riding around in stretch limousines all the time, but I will sometimes take public transportation if it's convenient, and it does surprise people, you see the heads turn.
