Is New Orleans a write-off?

Looking at the determination and fortitude of the people there I would suspect it will be rebuilt.

Wouldn't that be crazy?

Why not sieze the opportunity and build New New Orleans - The newest city so good they named it twice!

But seriously, why invite this to happen again? Levees will break. The area is 10 feet under sea level. At least San Fransisco is only on an earthquake fault - only certain areas would be destroyed. But break the southern levees and you flood an area the size of the UK...

I think it's time to move on to bigger and better things instead of talking of rebuilding.

Wow, an area the size of the UK. I didn't know it would be so extreme if the levees failed.
