Granted, a few facilities (like maybe the Port of Southern Louisiana) are tied to New Orleans’ peculiar geography… and they’ll need a few residences to supply labor… and some supporting commerce. However, that alone would become a much smaller town that could hold to higher ground.

Being more compact and higher, it could be more stoutly defended (at lower cost) against the next storm. The measure of how much lowland can be defended and what really needs to build on it will be to see who is willing to pay for its protection without federal subsidies.

Everything else, including all of the touristy stuff, should be rebuilt in a new city upstream. Maybe the old city can become a landfill site that can eventually be built up above sea level to provide buildable land to some future generation (if rising sea levels don’t overtake it). However, the old New Orleans is flooded and toxic.

Why wait months to reclaim all that before starting to build replacement homes and businesses? Why spend the time and money on so much clean up when we could break ground on another site immediately and put people to work?

Yeh, rebuild New Orleans but build it somewhere else. The area where the city is currently located is geological unstable being the flood plain of a major river. The rebuilt city will ultimately either fall into the sea due to the massive erosion of the Mississippi delta, be innudated by the Mississippi if the river ever escape its the artificial channel created by the Army Corp of Engineers or be once again flooded by the next major hurricane to visit that area.

Rebuild New Orleans?

Should the city of New Orleans, now at least 80% of which is under water, be rebuilt? Do you want to pay for it?

Grrr… What the heck *is* it with TPad and WP trackbacks? Sorry, Rick, I tried to TB to this post at my place, and it didn’t go through.

But if you send some people my way, I’m donating $5.00 per polite comment to Soldiers’ Angels there, or leave one on my Carnival of Recipes post, and it’s $5.00 to the Red Cross. Wanna help me out and send some people over?
