The typical resident of the New Orleans metropolitan area pays 33percent more in housing costs than before Hurricane Katrina struck,according to a survey by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development released Monday. The survey also found that the area has 13 percent fewer housing units than it did before the flood, a main factor behind the jump in housing costs. Both owners and renters were hit hard by the 33 percent jump. In2004, the average monthly cost was $662, compared with $882 in 2009.
Also I don't know how many of you have tried out the new Canal Place theater yet, but the Hubig's pies there go for six bucks.
