The pioneers did it. They went West with a horse and a carriage. You can get a $25 bus ride from New Orleans to Carbondale, IL, and have a job in three days, and have a $300 livable 2 bed room apartment (per month) in a day.

You can speculate and what I gather is that the majority of those affected by the hurricane were buttf ucked by p&c carriers like state farm, the government, the media, construction companies, etc. And from what I read in an article last night, the government is only alloting $5 billion of the $7.6 billion needed to rebuild the levees CORRECTLY and that the earliest they'll complete the project is 2015. To me, that is criminal that they're allowing people to rebuild when they can't even provide protection from another storm. It shows how inhumane our leaders are.
Moving doesn't solve the problem. Say if they move to a city like St. Louis and the New Madrid Fault goes nuts...they're f.ucked again.

Pillow, I agree. What these insurance companies and the government, on all levels, has done is extremely inhumane. And I also agree that I really don't know the situation. But I would like to think i would make the best decision for my family and myself. One that would get them away from the destruction and all the bs.
