Email: Recovery and relocation [SL]

Recovery in New Orleans will take months so people will go where they have family or preferences; Houston being a major metro area with great opportunities, the majority will probably settle here since it's the closest neighbor with many cultural affinities. Children are being enrolled in schools and people are already finding apartments and jobs here. Those whose heritage is in New Orleans will return; as they should. If I grew up in St. Paul and had to relocate to Minneapolis, I would eventually return to St. Paul for such reasons; or having lived in Minneapolis, I might stay.
