I agree the city should be bulldozed at this point and let the entire area go back to it's natural state as a wetland. Aint going to happen though.

I oppose using Federal money to rebuild New Orleans just as I opposed it in the flood plains a few years ago in the midwest and on the Atlantic beaches. Might as well build a house in an arroyo or straddling a fault line. Makes no sense.

When the wetland laws were enacted, many of those houses in Orleans Parish were already there. And the ones that have flooded in St. Bernard and Jefferson Parish, while they did come after the wetland laws, I guess by putting up the levees all of a sudden the land wasn't "wetland" anymore.

Until the levees break.
