www.REALonomics.net is a blog that is asking serious questions about where the real estate industry is going. More specifically, REALonomics poses challenges to the broker/owners to adopt models that will allow their organizations to become more transparent.

REALonomics.net advocates that the industry open up the property information portals to consumers and upgrade its approach to how it is interacting with the consumer by implementing more social networking such as www.CityBlogUSA.com, a community blogging network for every city in the USA.

Perceived Value

Still dazed by Katrina (2005), the residents of New Orleans have showed incredible resilience recontructing (although partially) this city almost completely destroyed by the wind blown waters of Lake Pontchartrain. Those areas most severely devastated have recovered ever so slowly, but those closest to the heart and uptown of the city have become even more desireable after the storm than they were prior. The stately mansions of St. Charles Avenue and the Garden District have survived and as a result thrived in the Post - K world. For those looking to relocate with in the City of New Orleans today, these areas are characerized by their perceived value of withstanding the most destructive and deadly storm ever to hit the mainland of the United States.

There is little doubt by those still in and around this enchanted city that it will return to its mysterious and charming ways, but for now and possibly for the foreseeable future, it will be a much smaller, more intense and certainly as opportunistic environment as it ever was before. Some say the charm is in the people of New Orleans, some say in the grand mansions of the Garden District. I say the charm lies in the complex and deep relationships between those who chose to live in these magnificent examples of mankind’s architectural acheivements and these gems themselves. Even Mother Nature did not have the heart to destroy them, and by not doing so, attracted even more loving souls willing to take on the task of restoration at hand.

Help, I need a Doctor

New Orleans, Louisiana has a hospital. New Orleans has many medical professionals operating in a variety of specialties. Fundamental healthcare begins with an individual or family?s access to a general physician, call it a family doctor or for children, a Pediatrician and for women a Gynecologist. Certainly, for people like me, a good therapist; better yet, a Psychiatrist! But why is it that someone in New Orleans, Louisiana cannot locate a physician that will take new patients?
CityBlog New Orleans, was struck by the frustration that was apparent in Susie Pena’s (a New Orleans, Louisiana resident) post on May 9, 2007, which read as follows:
I have been here 1 year this June and have yet to find a doctor that will accept new patients. I am very discouraged that there is no avenue for new residents to find out who is available without a lot of labor intensive efforts.
Does New Orleans have a physician association or, does the hospital know of new physicians coming into New Orleans that are looking for new patients? It would behoove all communities to have some centralized service that maintains a list of physicians who can accept patients as either â€œnewâ€ or on a rotating basis until the new resident can establish regular healthcare.
