Housing is the most critical need...right up there with levees
Six months on: steps that used to lead to part of Physicians' Hospital, New Orleans, now lead to rubble. [Bart Everson/Flickr]
I spoke with Bart Everson a few weeks ago about his experience returning to New Orleans after Katrina (I wrote a feature about his Carnival experience for Open Source), and I've been reading his blog, b.rox, ever since. Bart, aka Editor B on Flickr, is documenting the state of his neighborhood in Mid-City, where he and his wife, Xy, are the only residents who have returned.
Bart posted this video and Katrina + Six today. It is a quick glimpse at the progress (or lack of it) being made in his little corner of the world. Overall, his blog offers an incredibly frank and yet still hopeful, personal account of his new life.

I like the video integration right onto the blog. the globalmedia blog does not have this and I think your way is much better because it gives direct access rather than through a second party. Ill add more later.
