it's a crescent shaped city without the lowlying areas, right?

paint it red. the libs will love you fer it;-)

No, the (current) low-lying areas will, over the course of about two decades, become a smaller city with no remaining low-lying areas.

However, your conclusion is correct. Most of its eventual population will be people with jobs who can afford the necessarily higher prices of homes in the new New Orleans.

So, yes, it will become a much "redder" City.
