bias “Long before the storm, New Orleans was by almost any metric the worst city in the United States – the deepest poverty, the most murders, the worst schools, the sickest economy, the most corrupt and brutal cops. Yet a poll conducted a few weeks before the storm found that more New Orleanians – regardless of age, race, or wealth – were ‘extremely satisfied’ with their lives than residents of any other American city.” – Dan Baum, from Nine Lives, Death and Life in New Orleans.
