I wasn't ignoring the cost or addressing the fact that people may live in New Orleans.
I was specifically addressing economic importance of the port of New Orleans which, would seem to me, to outweigh any concerns with the cost of constructing something like this...
If people living in New Orleans was the result of making things safer for the port then that is just an added bonus.
As for people not living in "at risk" locations. I think this have been covered before. There really isn't anywhere safe in the US if you take that into consideration.
