No. They were out there working hard, stripping down their houses, piling up the garbage and getting on with the job of getting ready to rebuild.
It will take years to get it all rebuilt - if they ever really do. Someone is going to have to clean it all up and waiting another six months ain't gonna make it smell any nicer. You don't have to walk more than a donzen blocks away from the east end of bourbon street to find utter destruction, untouched and untreated. It is truly stunning.

The people cleaning up aren't in the hardest hit areas. Most of those people haven't even seen their home yet because they haven't been back. You talked of rusting cars, what should you do dump it? The insurance company has to see it to give them a settlement, they have to have something to move it with, they have to be home to do it. Should their neighbors start tossing cars that sit around? You don't have the full grasp of how bad this stuff is at all. The people you see cleaning up for the most part are workers paid to do just that.
