Wonderfully put! As much as I love the city and the history and tradation of New orleans. Came we with stand another storm like this once we get this one cleaned up. Its gonna happen again, there is no doubt in my mind that this will happen again.
of course it will happen and as long as people have insurance in miami or any tropical area it will continue. multimillion dollar condos are rebuilt all over continuously. same with earthquake zones and mudslide capitals like cali. its just suddenly a lot more personal so we see it a lot differently.
New Orleans is the home of 1.3 million people. You don't walk away from home no matter how risky it is.
Very true. I imagine that a stifling number of buildings have simply floated away like some of those oil riggs.
It truly begs the question of why rebuild at the expense that will be required? What major company in their right mind will operate in such an environment? Why bury our heads in the sand, since where else would it even occur to someone to put an entire city under water???
no different than any other place facing something similar or the same. Ask those casino owners in gulfport why they are going to rebuild? risk/reward and flood insurance is cheap.
that's part of my concern though. By dedicating significant resources to the rebuilding, it's implied that there will be businesses and an economy to support and justify that decision. I don't really see that happening.
