It's amazing how you find a way to show your arse in every fricking thread you post in and then find a way to make it about yourself.

A few houses there took water, but the majority stayed dry and no one had water up to their eaves.
Shenandoah had less than 5 percent flooded.

Centurion was hammered like you said.
I don't believe Gardere had many issues.

Denham Springs, Central residents worried about federal requirements to elevate homes
Oh so now these folks are in favor of the Fed Govt coming to the rescue...wow

Shelton said if people walk away from their homes because of rebuilding costs, it will hurt the local and national economy. “What will happen to the mortgage companies and the finance companies?” he said. “People are so frustrated. I’m begging for the federal government to come through and come through quickly.”

Most of Central and Denham Springs flooded in 77, 83, and 90. Seems like those areas have been doing fine since the late 90s.
Man this is an order of magnitude worse than those floods... and the areas are much more developed. No comparison IMO.
There will be long term consequences to this.

Dude...I helped guy a house in Old Jefferson last week. Nearly every house had at least 4 feet of water. O'Neal Lane was a goddamn river! A couple friends in Centurian Place got 8 feet in their homes! Much of Santa Maria had water up to the eaves!
Which is why I said about half. Of those you listed, Bluebonnet, Gardere, Tigerland, Shanadoah, and Acadian did not flood. If any of those areas did...it was sparingly compared to places such as Centurion Place and Woodlands off oneal as you referenced.

No, they want the federal government to make up their minds so they can move forward. The feds are saying that people may have to elevate their homes before they can rebuild, and that until they are are elevated, they cannot get a building permit. However, they have not decided how high they need to be, or if they're even going to do so at all. In the mean time, people are just sitting on their hands because they don't know if they should proceed or not. John Doe who got 4 feet of water in his house on a slab doesn't want to start installing new sheetrock and replacing the wiring in his house if the government's going to come behind him and tell him that he has to raise his house 4 feet. His house is on a slab and likely cannot be raised, and certainly not without massive added expense. If the government does not make up their minds soon, people will increasingly give up on rebuidling and just relocate.
Also, my friend in Gardere was trapped in his second-story apartment for almost a week because the flood waters stayed for so long.
My friends in Tigerland reported feet of water in the streets in places. Thankfully, the water around campus came and went fairly quickly and didn't linger like we saw in Ascension Parish.

There is a big difference in being trapped by three feet of water in the street and having water on your slab or in your house.
I heard prople were trapped in UClub because the entrance flooded, but no water got into any of the homes.
Street flooding kept hundreds locked in or out of their subdivisions for that reason even though their homes did not flood.
That was a huge problem in Santa Maria.

If they have to raise the home, it will mean the entire home is a tear down.
If my home had 4 ft of water in it, I expecta complete tear down. The amount of on going issues would be a nightmare.
Just maintaining a normal home is a full time job

Half right, my friend. It certainly ain't gonna be cheap.
House raising and you: a FEMA primer

People with money have more incentive to stay. LA is NOT a "non-recourse" state, meaning if you walk away from a mortgage you will get your arse sued by the mortgage co after the foreclosure.
True That.
It's already begun. I'm helping out a friend and Wells Fargo is already sending letters and calling daily wanting to know his stance. In LA, you can't simply walk away.
Oh and frick Wells Fargo.

Baton Rouge will not get even 1% the help per capita Nola got.
People are losing their minds paying too much for homes that didn't flood and will regret it. Add massive amounts of debt from their flooded homes and they're fricked.

Also, I am sure the long term mental affect this has, is going to be an issue as well.

People will rebuild, and everything will be fine (for the next few generations, any way...my point is that we will be long-dead by the time another storm like this one hits).
