you're forgetting something.
1. we're human
2. it's new orleans
3. It's American
what do these things mean: 1. we will rebuild, 2, it will still be new orleans, 3, we're american, so while it is not the smartest or cheapest thing to do, it will be what we do bc we can.
In a way, i agree with king. I've been on yearly occassions spanning almost 2 decades now and it's an amazing city with an amazing culture. The hurricane may have taken out billions of dollars worth of material goods, but the people will still be there, the real people who make new orleans what it is.
give it 5 yrs and it will be bigger and better than it ever was, or at least it will be well on the road there.
I'm pretty sure the new NO will get a good bit of funding for a new levee system, at least when the next admin gets into office, and i'm pretty sure it will be buffered a bit better than it was this time.
It would be like if someone wrecked the twin towers. It may not be wise to put up a huge building in place of the two, but it is what will happen.
