Suggestion: Turn Bush's Crawford Ranch into a NOLA refugee center

[RobertSeattle]

It's unused and useless land anyway. High and dry. Apparently most of the Brush has been cut back recently...

1. and theres no more cattle there!

so plenty of space on his over 1,000 acres for a refugee camp...

2. We could take it under eminent domain.

OOPS, we wouldn't be erecting condos to enrich some corporate fat cat, so I guess that's not really applicable...

3. Too far away from the need. N/t

7. Probably true... 551 miles

It would be great if there would be some way people within a few hundred miles of NO could "adopt" New Orleans refugees for the next couple of weeks.

6. I suggested this on another thread.

There's plenty of land on that estate to set up quite a refugee center. If that place is truly the "Western White House" then it belongs to the people and the people need it right now.
