Building lots and lots of high-rise condos downtown does not help the city of New Orleans and its people recover from the flood. In fact, it does something quite the opposite. It would be nice to see the local media cease their cheerleading for these developers.

They could at least stop letting this kind of statement go without comment.

The Trumps, at least, have not been deterred. "This is going to be a big statement for the city and its recovery," Donald Trump Jr. said recently. "It's not charity, but we do think it's one of America's great cities and we want to be there to support it any way we can."

We're the Trumps. We're here to help!
