I'm not sure which method is better. On one hand, I understand that some of these houses will never be rebuilt, and that the best step is to tear them down so they're no longer a hazard. But on the other hand, the poorest (and often, the oldest) people are the ones who are taking the longest to rebuild, often because of Road Home issues, and it's not okay to just bulldoze over the past 40 years of their lives when the program that was supposed to assist them with rebuilding is slow, bureaucratic, and biased.
