Ofcourse we don't get nearly as many hurricanes, but the protection was created to be able to withstand them (among other things).

At this point Elv, I can't help but to associate your remarks, which are irrational, with your age . I'm really not trying to be offensive, I'm really not I swear, but there is a lot more here than you are failing to see. I will go into detail below your other post....

You are talking about Homes and Communities. I am sure that New Orleans never expected a Hurricane like Katrina and the Damage she was capable to doing. I hope they have rebuilt in more defensive manner for future negative outcomes.

I joke about New Orleans from time to time when Hurricanes look like they are heading towards it but in all truth I am Proud that New Orleans and the surrounding cities have picked up the pieces that Katrina threw apart. And I hope they did everything they could between then and now to try and make sure it doesn't happen again.

But logically, there are so many places that are below sea level and the number increases slowly over the years. If these places were to suffer as Louisiana has, should they just give up and go elsewhere? No, these are our homes and nothing should stop us from reclaiming them. I speak figuratively when I say "our" since I do not live there.

We as a country should support them in their efforts of rebuilding and doing everything they can to try and keep the past just that....the past and not let it happen again.

But that's just my opinion on the topic.

well, considering the walls around them were built to withstand a category3 at MOST, i find it laughable.

The world is filled with numerous natural disasters. If one certain area is prone to these natural disasters and is hit hard by one, should they just leave and never come back? No, they rebuild and take even more precautions. With the country supporting them, the way it should be.

Examples..
  • Earthquakes
  • Tornadoes
  • Wild Fires
  • Tsunamis
  • Typhoons
  • Hurricanes
  • Tropical Storms
  • Volcanoes


Those are the ones off the top of my head that are capable of destroying large areas.

you would be surprised at how much i do know about what is going on in this Country.




You are talking about Homes and Communities. I am sure that New Orleans never expected a Hurricane like Katrina and the Damage she was capable to doing. I hope they have rebuilt in more defensive manner for future negative outcomes.

Yes they are homes a Communities But how many times are we going to watch the City be destroyed because these types of Hurricanes are only going to become more Frequent and more Deadly as the years go by.


I joke about New Orleans from time to time when Hurricanes look like they are heading towards it but in all truth I am Proud that New Orleans and the surrounding cities have picked up the pieces that Katrina threw apart. And I hope they did everything they could between then and now to try and make sure it doesn't happen again.

Fine if the People of the city want to sink there hearts and souls into to make things work again fine but do not waste Billions of taxpayers dollars that could be instead spent finding Alternative forms of Energy or better equipping our Guys and Gals over seas Fighting to Protect the freedoms every single person on this website that lives in America enjoys



But logically, there are so many places that are below sea level and the number increases slowly over the years. If these places were to suffer as Louisiana has, should they just give up and go elsewhere? No, these are our homes and nothing should stop us from reclaiming them. I speak figuratively when I say "our" since I do not live there.

Theres living below sea lvl and there is Living below sea Level In a high risk area that is sinking

We as a country should support them in their efforts of rebuilding and doing everything they can to try and keep the past just that....the past and not let it happen again.

Then Rebuild New Orleans some were else with in the state away from the swamplands that it currently is build apon


But that's just my opinion on the topic.

So where do you live? How long have you lived there?

But, lets take your overly simplistic approach and say we abandon a city founded a few hundred years ago.

How?

How and where do you move the businesses, people and lives? How do you even go about doing that? How do you move an entire culture?

Edit: How many Katrina like storms have hit New Orleans in its history?

How?

you dont let the people move back after Katerina hits thats how imagine if that 6Billion dollars had instead been spent on building a new City somewhere else in Louisiana.


How and where do you move the businesses, people and lives? How do you even go about doing that? How do you move an entire culture?

The Majority of the ppl in New Orleans were gone after Katerina hit was the Governments mistake to allow every one to return and pick up the pieces




Edit: How many Katrina like storms have hit New Orleans in its history?

idk but here comes number 2 in a whopping 5 years
