Yea, he's in the 9th ward area,
I'm in the 7th ward area, both areas are in need to be re-done
I will start to tap into that 9th ward area, that area will become hot to wanna get in/build prolly around next year or so...the gov't/city are starting to pump funds and draw up things for that area... -
Dare I say Brad Pitt is a real ? ?
S/N I hope the residents take care of these homes and are able to keep up with the taxes and what not -
Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans with furious and deadly force this month ten years ago - and no celebrity is more attuned to the anniversary than Brad Pitt.
Pitt, who recently listed his and Angelina Jolie's five-bedroom French Quarter home for $6.5 million, has been working to rebuild destroyed houses in the hard-hit Lower Ninth Ward since the monster hurricane left its path of destruction.
'We went into it incredibly naïve,' the megastar told the New Orleans Times-Picayune, 'just thinking we can build homes - how hard is that?'
A lot harder than he thought, it turns out. But that didn't stop him, nor the area's residents, from plugging along, and now Pitt is thrilled that 109 colorful, sturdy, ecofriendly homes dot the land that following Katrina was nothing but mud and debris and torn-apart lives.
'I get this well of pride when I see this little oasis of color and the solar panels,' the dad of six told the paper.
As a part-time NOLA resident and amateur architecture enthusiast, Pitt wanted his foundation, Make It Right, to build homes that not only suited the residents' needs, but were well-designed, environmentally-friendly, and not only cheap to make, but to live in.
'I drive into the neighborhood and I see people on their porch, and I ask them how is their house treating them? And they say, 'Good.' And I say what's your utility bill? And they'll throw something out like, '24 bucks' or something, and I feel fantastic.'

Good ? , but Brad need to roll in some dirt to make them photos authentic.
*Diddy tone* Don't worry if I build houses, I write checks!
No need to actually be seen hammering nails. 109 houses is 109 houses. The question is, do the people outright own the houses AND property after said good deed? -

the bolded is the only question that matters
cause mofos are always so excited and quick to congratulate and accept a rich cracka as one of their own SMH
but they forgot to learn all the details 1st.......
seems like just a profitable investment to me but I hope I'm wrong -
I'm prey sure they gotta pay for the house in some way. Maybe not full price. But someway they gotta pay.

Props to BPit
