The answer you entered to the math problem is incorrect.

Because it's ethnic cleansing.

As the text states, these projects are not to be replaced with wetlands to protect the city from flooding, but with new housing—only this time for "mixed income" residents. So this is pretty blatantly about changing the class and racial make-up of New Orleans.

Furthermore, as we wrote nearly a year ago when the plans were first unveiled:

New Orleans' low-lying African American sectors like the Lower Ninth have been urban residential areas for two centuries or more. The vast areas of coastal mangroves destroyed in recent decades to make way for (mostly white) suburbs and shopping malls were far more critical to protecting the city from storms sweeping in from the Gulf. Yet nobody is talking about restoring these wetlands. In the immortal words of Chuck D: "Did you ever ask yourself—Why is that?"
