...residents have not returned. Those who have are frustrated by the uncertainty - both in their personal lives and the life of the city. There is a litany of daily annoyances, from crumbling streets to piles of flood-damaged cars that have yet to be hauled away, not to mention miles of abandoned housing. Sylvia Barabino, who lived in heavily flooded New Orleans East, drove in from Baton Rouge where she has been living since Katrina to vote.
