Lack of fresh water and proper sanitation facilities but I look at it as each person makes their own choices.

I agree with you 100% -- as long as "their own choices" do not include an expectation that someone else is going to airlift food and water to them for the next three months.

Power will be restored first to the pumps (storm water) along with the sewage treatment facilities and the police / fire and city hall and the jails. So, something is up with this order. Dry areas will not have a significant problem with power and sewage being brought back on line. Only the flooded areas need to be completely evacuated at this time.
City officials will need a place to stay close to downtown as recovery continues. I'm sure there are a few officials that live in the dry areas (west of NO across the river) that will be crucial to recovery and they can share their homes with other city employees that were flooded. Funny thing I've noticed, except for debris removal, the west sections of NO (across the river to the West) is where some of the power comes from to the city I believe and the MSM isn't saying a lot about the condition of that particular area. Satellite photos show it dry. Something's up with respect to the potential abuse of power and LA officials.

Problem is that those who remain will sh^t in the street and their neighbor's yard.
