I was watching a show, think it was on Discovery Channel about the ongoing clean up of the Katrina destruction. One problem is while entire neighborhoods were destroyed and have not been rebuilt this includes not only houses but their swimming pools. They can't drain the pools it just get re-filled with rainwater, if they had the funds to fill them the neighborhood would be re-built already. The mosquito abatement problem is huge.

Sounds like they could use more swallows.
