rather than jump in for the quick fix or to let any land profiteering I think we should pull back and do some relevant big picture studies

the city is sinking

the marsh lands nad swamps are being drained

the delta is sinking and diminishing at an astounding rate

the barrier islands are disappearing

curbing the mississippi to protect cities [and not only new orleans] is prohibiting the flooding and building up of silt

silt = land

it's a complex problem that deserves and needs long range planning
