Homes with Red X or orange sign to be demolished. Over a year after Katrina, thousands of homes, block after block empty. Most have doors open, windows broken. Insides on most are gutted to wood studs. I felt I was in a ghost town. Most wood structure homes were wiped out. Brick homes, as you can see withstood the flood and many look like they can be remodeled. With Mold, Wood rot and leaking roofs to be repaired. I suppose many just walked away and started life somewhere else.
