Let me clarify, as I have stated since my first day on GFY, for those that do not know. I despise California.
You are also speaking to someone who knows and watches "White Flight" as it is an indication as to which areas to buy real estate in ahead of the rush. I recently sold a few lots to an entire family who 'fled' Los Angeles. Why did they leave... for the reasons you listed.
The point of my comparison was to show how crazy it would be assume Lousiana could go from a poor state to a rich state. Thus allowing for the sale and demand for Malibu, California style housing in New Orleans, Lousiana.
So although I do not agree N.O. should be rebuilt, I will agree with you that California is losing its best... And if you agree with that statement, then you should also agree that when New Orleans lost its best (YEARS, DECADES AGO) it is pointless to rebuild a place people do not want to live in.
