New Orleans council votes for demolition of housing. - New Orleans City Council chambers voted unanimously to allow the federal government to demolish 4,500 public housing units -- over objections from public housing residents who contended that the agency’s plan would not provide enough housing for the 3,000 families who lived in the projects before Hurricane Katrina, almost all of them black.
