Summary:According to Dupuy, the Lower Ninth "saw a tremendous amount of media attention largely because this is where you would have seen our highest numbers of fatalities, where you would have seen the highest numbers of people in need of being rescued from their properties." Are we seriously expected to believe that a handful of LEED houses will somehow create a template for the future, even while the architecture itself destroys the porch culture that formerly characterized the close-knit social life of the neighbourhood? Ironically, however, these celebrity efforts have sort of forced the city's hand in many cases, Pepper recognizes.
