Hey Condor, I hope you are well. No, by all means. . .this is exactly the place to think out loud and way outside the box. You know me.

I think you are right. If U.S. taxpayers must foot the bill to rebuild New Orleans, then we should have a say in how it is done. My thinking is this. . . scientists are saying the mold growth inside the walls of the flooded homes could very well make them uninhabitable at any cost. He was talking about all of them. Black mold is deadly and nearly impossible to eradacate. . . especially when given such a long head start.

Imagine bulldozers tearing down nearly all of what is left of the residential areas which were flooded. By all means, make wonderful parks out of much of the area below sea level. . . the best parks and memorials anywhere. Don't rebuild homes below sea level ever again. It simply doesn't work!

Then build some nice high rises on higher ground, which can withstand the winds and stay dry from floods. Make these available in one capacity or another, (according to deed records) to those who lost their homes there. Be fair and be generous.
