A few documentaries came out soon after Katrina, pointing to the fact the low income housing buildings were boarded up, with people's belongings still in them, even tho the buildings had not been damaged in any way by Katrina.
When people tried to return to their boarded up homes they were not allowed to.

Lower 9th ward homes were demolished before owners returned.

David Simon's "Treme" tv series showed who lost, who won post Katrina.
