Colin, your mistake was the title of this thread. You have a great point.
New Orleans was impossible. It was an amazing enginering feat that it stood for this long. It IS a bad idea to build cities below sea level. Especially along the gulf coast.
To say let's build a new grand city is idealistic (while a great idea). But money should be spent to raise the level of the city, and money should be spent to build some fucking good levees. This simply must never happen again. And this is the time to fix a big mistake.
