This could change the demographics of the city. I think we'll lose a lot of low-income people.
This is really hampering the economic recovery of the city. We've got every person's real estate in the city of New Orleans tied up in a knot.
We are just having a record-breaking year. We were already very active before the hurricane, but nothing like we are seeing now.
Right after the storm, if I had heard myself talking like I am now, about setting records in some offices and posting three record-breaking months in a row, I would've wondered what Kool-Aid this guy was drinking. But every day it gets crazier and crazier in a positive way.
The key to property value in New Orleans is in the hands of the U.S. Congress. Until Congress O.K.'s the money to build the levees to withstand Category 5 hurricanes, there will always be a question about properties here.
It's going to be an enormous housing boom.
There doesn't need to be this personal relationship with your assessor. That's a thinly veiled way to say, 'Come see me. We'll work out a deal.
I thought this storm was the end of the city. If anyone had told me two weeks ago that I'd be getting the calls and e-mails I'm getting, I would have thought he was ready for the psychiatric ward.
Think about it. The 'Big One' hits San Francisco tomorrow and ruins most of the housing. Oakland is going to be busy, right?
