but the main issue seems to have been they didn't want that "magnet" and wanted to encourage people to evacuate (my comment=so the state did that by starving and dehydrating people).

Doh ... it's so simple! They wanted the people to be euphoric!

LOL!

One thing that doesn't make sense to me: wouldn't a "magnet" be *good* because they wanted to get the people out of their houses and out of the city, and the locations where the Red Cross would set up would be likely staging areas to then evacuate people?

It's only called euphoric when the courts approve it.
