"And then have you heard about the snafu at the Astrodome?!!" It is not a snafu. There is only a maximum that the Dome can carry for any length of time. That limit has been surpassed. Apparently there were people who hitch-hiched or carpooled to get to the Dome with the promise of being housed. The first ones were turned away, but then the decision was made to accept them. Given that, the Dome was filled before all the busses arrived. It really sucks for the people on the bus, but a place will be found for them. Maybe some of them will wind up in BCS. We welcome what we can take. And we have already taken quite a few. There are a lot more LA plates than we normally get. And we will take any that want to stay. Despite the average income being a lot less than most NOLA residents are used to... This is a national disaster. Worse than any other. This will shape the future, for good or ill. I only wish we had an administration who actually understood this.
