NO WAY,,,
I have thoguth about this EXTENSIVELY!! they need to create a NEW THEME for N.O. Listen,,, when you think of ORLANDO,,,, what do you think of???
WALT Frickin DISNEY,,,
so why dont we CREATE a SPECIAL retreat that is UNIQUE to N.O. Specific,,,
I say we Create the Largest WATERPARK in the country there,,,
this would be GREAT,,,, Lets Make sure we SECURE all Levys,,,and Secure Bourbon Streeet,,, that place Rocks,,,
we Create a Memorial,,,, and we Create a 50 ACRE Water Park right NEXT io it,,,,,,
This Idea is Genius I know,,,, take it in,,and think aobut it before you are Critical,,,

Of course, the land is too valuable (despite being below sea level.) |

off course it will still be poverish..the south is far worse off with poverty, don't ask me why....just seems like a lot more broke people down south, or in Vegas, depending on how the football capping season is going |

Should it ? No, Will it ? yes. Same thing we do everytime there is flooding on the Mississippi River. Gov. comes in pays people to rebuild in a flood zone , 5 years later another flood hits, another check is written. TAX dollars hard at work. |

I understand Bigboy, but the logic just dlesn't make sense? If you didn't have the government to bail you out and you built a house in a flood plain and it flooded, would you really be stupid enough to build it in the same place again? NO is a little different becuase they may be able to protect it. |

I happen to share JW common sense....no, it shouldn't be rebuilt where it was, or it will happen again. Maybe not soon, but it will.
A week ago I went to see a new development just south of Miami. Nice community, nice houses, some 600 feet from the beach. Elevation has been brought from 7 to 11 feet (new building rules after Andrew came thru in 1992).
After seeing what happened in Mississipi I thought to myself that 11 feet are not enough, and that area could be simply washed away if a 25 feet surge comes in.
Common sense vs. laws....the latter prevail but will hardly prevent new disasters to happen. |

It is a mute point since it is going to be rebuilt, But in both cases I do have an issue with americans that choose to live in places that are not high risk areas having to insure those that do live in high risk areas. |

probably not... but if San fran went down to rubbles in an earthquake they would rebuild it, I think with the proper levy(sp) it would work. |
