So, of course the blog will be opinionated, right?

Well, let’s break this down a little bit.  First, the story mentions that residents will, (combined), have to pay up to 2 million dollars, “Yes – you read that right. TWO million dollars!”  Then the blogger posts that as many as 5,000 residents may be affected.  Then she says homeowners could be asked to pay up to 1.75 million.  Hmmm…which is it, tard girl?  2 million or 1.75?  See, because after receiving the calculation back from NASA I discovered that there’s a 250,000 dollar difference. Yes – you read that right. TWO hundred and fifty thousand dollars!  Or, one eighth less than you mentioned twice.  TWICE!

Besides, if you split that 5,000 ways, (as you suggest), it’s only $350 each homeowner, (I’m guessing you were rounding up a couple thousand homeowners, eh?).

Here’s the deal…life is not like Monopoly.  If there’s a bank error in your favor you don’t get to keep the moeny…except in this case probably because it would be “insensitive” for us to ask for the money back that was overpaid.  Gas is $4 a gallon but no…you go ahead and buy a new plasma theater system for your living room because you were smart enough to buy a  house below sea level right next to the ocean.

At least some of the homeowners used the extra money to get out of debt.

I want to hear from some real life New Orleans home-owners affected by this; what is your opinion?
