Having a large part of the city with the population density of a rural area is not an efficient way to deliver services. Better to have a rural form of government provide government services for rural areas.Kinchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10311285176547688008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19709251.post-38022231952249679462007-02-25T23:46:00.000-06:002007-02-25T23:46:00.000-06:00And what would constitute New Orleans Parish's tax...And what would constitute New Orleans Parish's tax base?

Who provides the funds to tear up the roads at the edge of New Orleans East, etc.? Smart shrinking sounds nice, but it costs money, which was always a problem with the ULI/BNOB proposal (which hasn't appeared to me to be as dramatic as reporters continue to suggest--the closing off of entire swaths of NOLA was never proposed).Ray Mikellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14601330025066017422noreply@blogger.com
