Should they rebuild or abandon New Orleans?

wasn't the smartest move building there in the first place

It's just that it sank over time due to the silt deposits and stuff. Can't really blame anyone for it....>BUT LET'S BLAME THE FRENCH!!!! biggrin:

sounds good to me

You cant just abandon a whole city. I mean its not like the old days where you could just found a wooden shanty town and have it evolve. Were kinda at a point where what we have for cities is pretty much it. A city of its size is something you cant just say "hey, you millions of people can never come back".

Rebuild it with safeguards against this type of catastrophe. Stronger levees are a good start.

Almost exactly what I was going to say. beer:

They'll find oil under it and turn it into a huge oilfield.

they should prolly abandon parts of it, its gonna cost billions to clean that up.

Bulldoze everything, clear the land, and start from scratch. Build better levees as well oOo:

Hey lets build a huge city under sea level next to an ocean that has tons of hurricanes!

Build a 200ft high plexiglass wall around the entire city.

and one around Quebec too, then fill it with water...

Oui!

Nagez-vous, motherfuckers!
