Pitt got screwed and ripped off just as these homeowners did.
He tried to do the right thing - and is still trying. But low-life Louisiana crooks and contractors got theirs.
Not really. He tossed some money at some people without thinking it through and being careful to see how it was spent. It’s typical liberal behavior. See a problem? Toss some money at it.
There were a LOT of errors. Hiring a person not versed in construction as CEO was the first big one. Then using a unproven materials, woodsil. Using house designs not modified for the climate, air handling systems etc. I am sure there were problems with building inspectors not doing their jobs. .I think this would be an excellent business school study. Finally people not properly caring for the homes contributed to the problem. . I feel Brad Pitt had great intentions but a project required a lot of hands on attention.
