The theme for this episode is Subsidence, the sinking of the earth. I think about this sinking when I look around our city of New Orleans.
 I think about how the pandemic has removed the primary source of income for so many people and the sinking feeling that comes with that.
 And I think about the massive amounts of evictions that are coming.

So I talked to some people who have been working on housing issues since long before restaurants shuttered and parades got cancelled. I talked to some people who know how the earth can disappear beneath your feet.

This is the first episode of a series on Subsidence and Evictions in New Orleans. This series was produced by Marie Lovejoy. Shea Shackleford served as editor.
