Canarsie
The southeastern neighborhood is getting more money than any other, the Journal reports, including more than 500 small business loans. Canarsie wasn’t a Zone A neighborhood—it was Zone B—and so its residents weren’t told to evacuate. That wouldn’t have saved homes from flooding, but it might have saved other stuff. “If I knew water was going to wash out my block like a tidal wave, I wouldn’t have left my tools and my car sitting there waiting to be destroyed,” one resident told DNAinfo.
