I would guess that the people with cars have crammed said cars with as many
of their valuables as possible, and don't have room for helping the
have-nots of society.

I'd also suspect that a lot of the have-nots would have moved away many
years ago if they could afford to do so (you know someone right now who is
in that position).

The poor will most likely represent the largest loss of life, and I don't
believe that, for most of them, they had many options.
