You'll discover there is very little support across the U.S. for pouring additional funds into the destroyed non-historic portions of New Orleans. The city was first built in 1718 on filled swamp land. As the city grew, additions were built on lower more swampy land. Yet because these areas were more prone to flooding little of value was built there. As the organic material continues to decompose New Orleans is sinking an additional inch every six year. Parts of the city are already 5 to 10 feet below sea level. Funds will always be available to protect to the historic district of the city. Ironically, this part of the city sits on high ground, so will require little infrastructure to maintain. The lowest elevation portions of the city held favelas, residents of these areas are integrating into other cities. Not what they wanted, but no one will spend hundreds of billions to build the most expensive low-income housing in the world. These areas will return to delta wetland which is greatly needed, and never should have been filled in. .
