Because most of the ones who rode the storm out before leaving to find easy pickin's somewhere else have not returned.
As long as someone is giving you something, why bother to work or come back to the cesspool you left? Look at what the refugees have done to Houston, or any of the cities who welcomed them.
I am sure that if the Big Easy took a direct hit, there would still be drunks down at Pat O's swilling booze during the worst of the storm till the place caved in.
Now some folks, you jest cain't reach....

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat." - President Theodore Roosevelt, 1910
