Haven: Took out this bit. I spent a good deal of 2007 volunteering down there (first interviewing people, and then working at a soup kitchen/helping to gut homes) and, while many people left, a huge number stayed due to community ties, and the amount of livelihoods that were destroyed far outweighed the people who remained. The statement "lots of people don't have jobs" is painfully accurate.
- Unfortunately, it got some of the specific problems wrong. A character is told, "you're lucky to have a job, a lot of people in this city don't have one," when in fact the population decrease caused by evacuations for Katrina virtually eliminated unemployment.
