I don't think it was the maggots and the mold that kept them from moving back.If it was me I'd be more conserned about living 10 feet below sea level on a flood plain in an area that had been hit by two hurricanes in less than a month,in an area prone to hurricanes.I can't imagine rebuilding with that on my mind.They should just save the important historic places and let the rest revert to flood plain.
Oh, don't get me wrong. I agree with you whole heartedly. I guess what I meant was for those who might of had nicer homes and had been there forever, it must have been a little hard to see your home in that condition.
