One particular wealthy district was effected less than most of NO. That doesn't negate the more general point " "The fascinating thing is that it's so spread out," said Joachim Singelmann, director of the Louisiana Population Data Center at Louisiana State University. "It's not just the Lower 9th Ward or New Orleans East, which everybody has heard about. It's across the board, including some well-to-do neighborhoods." Its the same guy who authored your article. He seems intent on making the case that everyone suffered equally but that's just not true. Was there some flooding in Uptown which includes the Garden District where most of the wealthy live? Sure.....but it was very minor as evidenced by the fact that it was one of the first places the mayor let people return: "BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — The mayor of New Orleans says more areas of his city that escaped flooding will be formally reopened starting Thursday. The areas include the French Quarter, the business district, and Uptown with its historic Garden District. Business owners will get to return first." cbsnews.com And why did the Garden District escape most of the flooding.....its because the wealthy typically live in the best parts of town......the highest elevation or next to a lake or the ocean or on top of a hill. This Real Estate 101.....its true pretty much in every city of this country. The ninth ward was totally underwater because its the lowest elevation in the city and its below sea level. The poor of NO suffered the most deaths and most loss of property. And that's the way it usually goes.
