I'm just wondering, are they making those people leave so that they can use there homes to house workers
police and the troops. Maybe even to house the contractors that come in to rebuild the city. A lot of these
homes were high and dry.

Can't do that Amendment III of the Constitution.

Why make people move whose homes are high and dry? Good question.

There may be several answers:
1. You could still have looting. And epidemics because of the bad sewer system and contaminated water system.

2.As is true everywhere, the richest parts of society live in the safest places. Politically, you couldn't have the poor uprooted and their houses bulldozed while the well-to-do and middle class watch from their relatively undamaged homes and businesses. It will be a fine line to be drawn about how they will handle the recovery and reclamation of the city.

Do you support using them for that purpose?

Uh, I think there may be a little problem with the constitution on that matter.
