"Well, frankly it's just not a good idea to have a city below sea level... I dunno. Just a thought."

Nope, it is not. Nor is it a good idea to have a city close to a major river, built over several active faults or close to a volcano that goes active at unpredictable times. The fact of the matter is that we have a lot of cities in less than ideal locations.


I am not sure that's a justification to rebuild New Orleans. Having said that, I think New Orleans will be rebuilt because its probably cheaper to rebuild than to buy everyone out who owns property there.

I hope that the rebuilding effort will include strengthening the levees so they can withstand the most powerful of storms even if it means buying up properties around the levees to make them larger.
