Poor people in New Orleans
editCut entire subsection:
Lack of transportation
editIf a person doesn\'t have a car, they generally have no way to evacuate. In New Orleans, the poorest neighborhoods were traditionally at the lowest elevations. This meant that those who were the least likely to have a car, and were therefore unable to leave, were also the least likely to be able to weather the flooding in their homes.
What does "no way to evacuate" and "unable to leave" mean? Were there no trains or buses out of New Orleans? Or were the fares too high? --Uncle Ed 16:56, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
removing "poverty" as a reason for not fleeing town
editExplaining that poverty of minorities is the cause of Experience, Traffic and "Limited Social Capital" is not the aim of this article. --Daveblack 01:20, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
