Exactly. I see the city's demographics changing signficantly as a result of the evacuation and the destruction of many homes. Many of the voters on which the inept political elite depended for election have hit the road, looking for handouts elsewhere, and they are getting them. It makes no sense for them to return to a devastated place when others are providing handouts which are probably more generous than the ones they received in NO. If kids get enrolled in school elsewhere, and the schools are not up and running in NO [January is the earliest date I've heard, but you've got to take that with a ton of salt if you know anything about the Orleans Parish School Board] there will be little reason to return. Here is a painfully comic link which describe the School Board's foibles in pretty good detail, though it doesn't mention the previous Superintendent's giving his father a $70K a year janitor's job for which he didn't bother to show up very often or the fact that the Board paid millions in salaries for years to dead teachers and administrators. No corruption, I think, it simply didn't know they were dead: bizneworleans.com
