Gary,
How do you justify those adamantly remaining in NO?
Many are not poor, they are home owners.

I haven't asserted that well-to-do homeowners are justified to remain in
N.O.

One report this morning told of buses being driven into the poor
neighborhoods Friday and Saturday and the residents refusing to leave.
Reportedly, they signed waivers to that effect.
Your arguement of the lack of transportation is fading away.

That particular argument still applies to anyone who wanted to leave but
couldn't. It doesn't apply to someone who is offered transportation and
refuge but declines.
