The elephant in the room is that these so called elites either allowed New Orleans to turn into what it has become, in which case they were grossly negligent and incompetent-or they were unable to stop it, in which case they never were as powerful as they were given credit for.
What NOLA has become has no impact on their wealth or safety.
But you know what is a threat to old money?
New money.
By allowing NOLA to become what it has become... the elites have prevented any new money to challenge them. And they have enough private schools and private security to isolate them from the crap the rest of the city deals with.

The company I worked for in high school - the bosses were in Rex, most of the women higher ups were in Iris, and the people who worked in the warehouse were in Shangrila

The Mistick Krewe of Comus was founded in 1857 by members of the Cowbellion de Rakin' Society from......Mobile.
