The main reason for forcing the residents out is that (a) there is no potable (clean) water -- and there won't be for at LEAST six months. There are no sources of food (grocery stores, etc.), and won't be for 4-6 months.
There already is water up and running and grocery stores open. All services wil be restored in just a short time. You watch and see.Americans bounce back fast.

Ok fine. Everyone just go back to the TOXIC sludge. Everyone return to your homes and create ANOTHER massive human trajedy. What it is about this statement you don't understand: The city is CLOSED for 4-6 months, minimum.
You are acting like "it's no big deal" and everybody can return cus some guy opened up a 7-11 in the French Quarter that wasn't even flooded.
Most of the homes in the flooded areas will have to be BULLDOZED, period.
This isn't a "property rights" issue. It's a SURVIVAL issue.
This is equivalent of somebody who lived in a high-rise apartment building near the World Trade Center saying, on 9-11, "I want to STAY cus this is my home." I only have food/water for a few days, there are no services (running water, etc.) and there won't be for 4-6 months, but I want to stay.
Go for it. Then you can starve and die or get some disease and die cus you were stupid and refused to evacuate.
I'm not saying New Orleans won't "rebuild". They will. Americans ARE strong. But most Americans aren't STUPID, and won't stay in a toxic sludge-filled dead city.
