Curious if that is what Katrina refugees can anticipate

They won't stay in one place long enough. When you look at the situation realistically 2 things are going to happen fairly quickly in Houston. Once the memory of the conditions they left in NO recedes they will start looking at their present surroundings and start demanding something more. You cannot place this many people in an open dorm for any length of time and so a lot of the single young people will start getting restless and they will start looking for outlets either inside the dome or outside. If they go outside then they are in one of the highest crime areas of Houston and they have access to drugs, alcohol and weapons. Many of them will just melt into the population and not return. People are very optimistic about the situation in Houston but I am not.

Agreed, they just went to Hell Houston in a Handbasket.

And the 'dome is just bout the worst part of town.

There is some hope that they'll soon be dispersed to a better place than that.

You gotta be positive. Distaster always transforms: witness locals shooting at would-be rescuers. But sometimes it transforms the other way. There are millions of eyes from the churches of Texas on them, ready to steer them out of hell and into a more realistic scenario for their families.

I sense a net good coming out of this. Somehow.
