It just looks like nobody cares to clean anything up.

Ok, first of all they don't even know if they are bulldozing certain areas so they told the residents not to touch shit. Why fix it if they might cover it with dirt.

Second, it will take much longer for the insurance companies to get estimates on everything. There are still insurance adjusters in from the lighter hurricane damage in Florida, the job in New Orleans and even other states is much larger and will take many more months. You can't touch anything before the insurance comes because they have to see the damage to give you the proper amount.

Insurance is just one of the many things that is hanging things up. Stuff like this takes years to clean up. You say pick up the trash but many of these people don't even have cars now. Not to mention it's not standard trash, it's wreckage from all over and on top of that the sludge that was stuck to it is nasty as hell from dead bodies and who knows what else in the water. I wouldn't touch it for money.
