That's what I was thinking. Folks, the culture of New Orleans is destroyed. Something similar may come back in its place, but too many are dead or moving away permanently for the city to ever be the same. Experts say the Mississippi River would be healthier if it were allowed to reclaim its original tract. I think the greater good would be served if the city were rebuilt in a manner respecting the reality of its position. Sure, there are other dangerous places to live, but none is as precarious and silly as putting a coastal metroplex below sea level, between two massive bodies of water.
