Yes there is crime, but there is a Lot More

Several critics love to point out the criminal statistics in New Orleans. New Orleans, however, is not the only city that is facing an upswing in crime. What we should be concentrating on is the positive. Perhaps Rafael Goyeneche said it best:

There are hopeful signs, however, Goyeneche said, pointing to improved schools in the city since the 2005 storm, grass-roots efforts to tackle crime, and a growing effort to upgrade city life.

"This city is beginning to do some things that I've been waiting 25 years to see," Goyeneche said. "I think there is a renewed sense of purpose; people are focused and demanding more than what was in play before Katrina hit."

Let's work together in moving this city forward.
