"NOLA Mistakes" is a political video essay that offers a look into an eerie future for New Orleans after being left with just a few tourists, empty streets and trolleys, ghostly lifeless buildings, a dead river, and cemeteries filled with citizens who died disappointed that we can't get hold of our crime problem, fix our educational system, elect dedicated and competent leaders, or bring our people home after Hurricane Katrina.

If her citizens give up, New Orleans will be left with a bunch of lifeless stuff, people from somewhere else, and her Cities of the Dead.
