Before the hurricane Galveston had more people than Houston. Eventually it did pass its old peak but the city never became what it probably would have. New Orleans is a larger city that wasn't booming at the time of the hurricane. I imagine it won't reach its old population for the foreseeable future.

Despite all the work on Galveston it is still very vulnerable to Hurricanes. Also the work had to be done on a smaller area then NO. You could move some of New Orleans up, but it wouldn't be easy or cheap. I don't think moving the whole city up by 7 or 8 feet is something that can reasonably be achieved.
