Or Else What?

The Bring New Orleans Back Commission appeared to make an empty threat when it...

...suggest[ion] that, for neighborhoods to be considered viable, at least half their pre-Katrina population must commit within the next four months to return.

If a neighborhood does not meet that threshhold, will the city use eminent domain to buyout those homeowners, including those that have rebuilt? If the Mayor and City Council have their way, and they will, don't expect this idea to ever see the light of day.
