m.d. filter: The New Orleans murder rate is still really high
http://mdfilter.blogspot.com/2008/06/new-orleans-murder-rate-is-still-really.html
June 15, 2008. The New Orleans murder rate is still really high. I haven’t posted in a while, but I have continued to track murders in the city. As of June 15, we are up to at least 88 murders in New Orleans. On June 9, the FBI released its Preliminary Annual Uniform Crime Report for 2007. Which “is based on information that the FBI gathered from 12,032 law enforcement agencies that submitted six to 12 comparable months of data to the FBI for both 2006 and 2007.”. Total Murders in 2007. That population d...

m.d. filter: A Recovery that Doesn't Work
http://mdfilter.blogspot.com/2008/01/recovery-that-doesnt-work.html
January 27, 2008. A Recovery that Doesn't Work. Posted by m.d. If there are no workers. Thousands of blue-collar workers like Washington who never lived in publicly subsidized housing increasingly have no place to live in New Orleans. The planned demolition of 4,500 publicly subsidized apartments is less significant to the future, policy experts say, than Katrina's destruction of nearly 41,000 inexpensive rentals that once housed the city's self-sufficient working class. No apartments, but plenty of homes.

April 3, 2008. Ashley Morris: the man. Posted by m.d. I echo jeffrey's words. The few times I met Ashley. In person, the dude was real. When I mentioned in a post that I played tuba in high school. He asked me in an email if I still had the tuba. He said he had a drum and we could do a brass band thing. I regret I did not still have that tuba to have shared that experience with the man. Help his family and donate to the Ashley Morris fund. A website is being set up: rememberashleymorris.com.

m.d. filter: June 2008
http://mdfilter.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
June 16, 2008. More on murder rates: Jefferson Parish and New Orleans. So, going by my previous post. The FBI says New Orleans had a murder rate of 95 murders per 100,000 residents in 2007. That’s high - probably too high, because the US Census population numbers for New Orleans were low. My calculation is more like a murder rate of 80 (that’s what I am using here). What about Jefferson Parish? By my count, Jefferson Parish (including incorporated and unincorporated JP) had at least 55 murders in 2007.
