Default Re: Would you move back?

Most of the 20% of the people who didn't evacuate and were trapped will likely not come back. They are too poor, have nothing to come back to, and suffered too much psychological trauma to go back. I imagine many of the 80% who evacuated will come back if they have insurance or some other means of rebuilding. Biloxi was the hardest hit area and all available real estate has already been sold. People want to live near the ocean even if it kills them.

Personally, I wouldn't go back because I wouldn't want to live in a place where my house could possibly be destroyed every year.
