yor landrieu: no. all of us, which is weird about this whole tragedy -- not only was it an institutional failure, we did not see ourselves being whatever we wear at the time. everybody in here got hurt. the first responders were hurt too. we all lost pretty much everything in some form or fashion. it literally never occurred to me that anything other than the city coming back would be eventually where we got. jeffrey: but you heard national politicians -- that is whatu: angered me the most. who in their mind thought that new orleans when it come back? , but my was worst sense of what everyone else felt l no, we are coming back. the stupid comments that people made gave new orleans a better sense of purpose. we were like, hell no. jeffrey: thank you denny has to stert for motivating you. if, god for bid, the same exact type of storm hit the city next week, what would new orleans look like after that storm? first of all,: the country has a hard time understanding this, but we are .he veterans of lots of

that none of this would've happened had it not been for the outstanding leadership of mayor mitch landrieu, who has been unbelievable partner throughout this entire process. we are proud what he's doing. you can see the results here. now, just because the houses are nice does not mean our jobs are done. this is a community that still has a lot of poverty. there is an area where young arele still too often taking the wrong path before they graduate from high school. there is a community that still needs resources and still needs help. the fact that we can make this any strides 10 years after a terrible epic disaster i think is an indication we have a spirit that we have in the city and it is survived in our mayor. their prime. lowerthe president in the ninth ward of new orleans this afternoon prior to his speech at a community center, also in the neighborhood. your calls for the next five or 10 minutes, or reaction to the president's remarks today as he marked the 10th anniversary of hurricane katrina, and your thoughts about the 10 years since that hurricane, the recovery, are we ready for

"we're still here ya bastards". it gets at the grassroots were zillions of all of this. also enormous challenges that we face. a lot of pros and cons about new orleans this evening, glass half full, glass half half-empty. i want to put roberta on the spot and ask are okay how were they doing? are we better off, are we worse off and i will ask others as well to chime in. >> it's interesting in my last book which was published five years ago i had a conclusion in which i said those who want to think that the world is now

host: that is mitch landrieu, the mayor of new orleans.give you an idea of the cost of living, legislators put together that property taxes have doubled, water bills now will double by 2020. home prices in some historically black neighborhoods have doubled, and louisiana, has no minimum wage. let's hear from lane, her mother was displaced. go ahead with your story. caller: first of foremost, i appreciate c-span. i am a longtime watcher, i never called, but this is very personal to me because of what happened to my mother, and being in atlanta, and seeing all the people from the new orleans area. my mother, like so many people from mississippi, was also displaced. the types of things that were done, by families to help other family members can never be calculated in dollars and cents. the gentleman who said that we rally around tragedy, the fact is that some of the things we do, like with my mother, she was a senior citizen. i don't think the story has been told of the number of senior citizens who may have thought that insurance would cove

we're joined now by new orleans mayor democrat mitch landrieu. i want to ask you about the levees, they broke ten years ago, are they safe now? >> yes. much safer. first thing nor country to continue to remember this was an infrastructure failure, this was not a natural disaster. one of the things that this essential that we make sure that we secure the infrastructure of the country particularly the levees they are much stronger than they were before. we still believe that we need to get do 500 year protection rather than 100. it's much better. the governor said just a minute ago we have to continue to rebuild the coast, have to make sure the levees are strong and internally in the city as we rebuild structurally they have to be strong as well. >> dickerson: i heard you say before that only capable of stopping category three hurricane. not a five. they're not strong enough. >> well, no, let me say. this first of allf a category five hits any major american city much like you saw with sandy in the northeast, you are going to see in miami. we are g

i think thankfully, shortly after katrina, some very wise people, senator mary landrieu among them, as well as david wagner a local architect, began to develop a strong relationship with the dutch government, and the dutch government reached out to us recognizing parallels between engineering feats that they've accomplished and things that they've learned to deal with, their own below sea level existence and help us understand better how we can't continue to try to engineer our way out of this problem. we can't continue to push the water out, which is what we've successfully done for a long time. but that's led to subsidence. so i think there was you know, an initial recoimg and the recoa recognition of how we needed to completely change and radically change course. >> well, if we assume, and i think from what scientists say it's probably a good assumption, that there will be storms like this again, some day in the gulf of mexico, how do we build in more resilience to biloxi, to new orleans, to other places on the gulf coast? >> we need to recognize that there are really three very imp
