I have a question, exactly how are you familiar with New Orleans.

"Now all they need are residents that want to return to a filthy, corrupt and impoverished city."

That does not describe the entire city. Prior to Katrina, the Irish Bayou was a decent area, and most of the western side of the city was also fairly OK, with some nice areas sandwiched in, and of course, Lakeview was a lovely (though, overpriced) area

But, I'll take your word for it that New Orleans is impoverished.

Yes, NOLA has some nice areas, but so does Washington DC.

The ghettos and the seedy Bourbon Street images stick in my mind from my last visits there.

You gotta admit, its still polluted, very poor in many Parishes and the DIMs still control the turf.

Irish Bayou was a "quaint" bayou community.

It's almost completely gone though. There are only less than a dozen camps that are salvagable. Though the newest and highest camp survived almost untouched (relatively).
