It can’t be moved, in real terms - I mean, you could evacuate the city, raze it, condemn the land, and commercial interests would put it right back. (Actually, that might have been cheaper...)
Port cities exist for a reason.
Not if the taxpayers quit subsidizing flood insurance.
“Port cities exist for a reason.”
I don’t disagree. It is a vital port without question.
However, I don’t think the workers needed to operate the port live in public housing. We (the taxpayers) should not be paying to rebuild and maintain public housing below sea level.
Do you not believe we can keep the port without public housing?

Declare it a national park.

The current port of New Orleans is a fraction the size of the one centered in LaPlace. Ports in Baton Rouge, Lake Charles, and Plaquemines are almost as large.
