"Do you think with time most of those people will end up going back as NO is brought back to life?" It depends. New Orleans and the cities like it have a powerful draw on people who have lived there. But some of the relocated are not very happy with the way the rest of Louisiana has been treating them. I have read accounts on how if a bus stopped in Baton Rouge, they were met by police and National Guard and warned not to leave the bus, even the ones that have relatives there. Really? Wow. That stinks. I've heard others say that the people in Baton Rouge have been great. Probably there are degrees of both. But I have to agree with what you say above........after asking the question, I was listening to some people from NO in Houston. Now that they've put some distance between them and the disaster, they are starting to miss home. I think a lot will go back but I suspect it will be a much smaller city. Places like the 9th ward where its so far below sea level might be more appropriate as a combination warehouse/parkland area rather than residential. I understand the housing stock there was bad even before the hurricane. It will be interesting to see how this develops.
