If there is an exodus, it could mean more than just a shrunken New Orleans. It could mean a poorer city, financially and culturally, and a more desperate one, too, since the people likely to leave are the most highly educated and younger.
This sounds like media slant. The well-off areas were not hit as hard (duh, they were on the desirable land) and so those well-off people have less incentive to leave. New Orleans will much more likely be better off when all the poor go off to greener pastures unfertilized by the shit politicians they have been electing for the last 40 years.
In fact Nagin is most worried because it's his (apparent--they're all bought as hell) constituency that will be off to Houston and Chicago.
