"I'm asking for foundations, for high net-worth individuals,
for church groups, for corporations to come in and adopt a
house basically, $150,000 will get a family back in their
home."

Good on him for putting $5m of his own money into helping people. But how far would that $5m go if he was going to put it toward building people houses somewhere other than the hellhole of the Lower Ninth Ward? Somewhere they could get away from the crime, drugs, and flood danger and actually rebuild their lives—if they wanted to?

O’Reilly looked into it and found out that Pitt and Jolie give quite a lot of money to charity.

I would never send a penny to New Orleans. The city ought to relocate — but if the residents choose not to, that’s their call. I just don’t appreciate requests for me to spend my money to help people build homes in a place like that.

"I'm asking for foundations, for high net-worth individuals, for church groups, for corporations to come in and adopt a house basically, $150,000 will get a family back in their home." Speaking as a high net worth individual, no. Not if they're going to go to welfare careerists.

Very noble indeed (since it is his money)

Brad obviously didn’t get * last year’s memo “ that the powers that be down in New Orleans don’t necessarily want most of the displaced people back in the City.

at least 150 eco-friendly homes in New Orleans' Lower 9th Ward Hope they're on stilts.

Concrete stilts at that. Might as well give booze to a drunk.

Bravo to Brad Pitt for putting up 5 long of his own bread for this. I wouldn’t unless there were a welfare moratorium in NOLA, but that’s me. I’ll object if he asks Uncle Sugar for the dough.

The problem is that “eco-friendly” in New Orleans means amphibious in that environment. The whole city would be underwater if nature had its way.
To: Argus
A rowboat placed on the roof wouldn’t hurt either.

How about getting a company to donate barges, that way they can build housing on barges so that the next time the place flood, the houses will be high and dry???
To: Allegra
Yes, but those of us from Houston do want the majority of the displaced to go on home now. ;-)Yep.

That’s why it should be renamed “The Money Pitt”.
