People have to be crazy to move to New Orleans.... New Orleans is literally 28 feet BELOW sea level! It would be like going to your local bank or mortgage company and saying:

"Hi, how about lending me millions of dollars. I have this 'great idea'; I want to go out into the ocean far enough that I can build a house 28 feet BELOW sea level, and I want to build a levee 35 feet high to surround it so my house will stay dry and safe." "Can I have the money now?"

They would reject your loan and crazy idea, and ask you to leave so fast it would make your head spin!

If I'm not mistaken, I believe the Lord Jesus Christ mentioned something about the folly and ultimate outcome of "building a house on sand" verses building it on a "solid rock".

People in New Orleans have taken the analogy one step farther: Building an entire city "on sand", 28 feet below sea level... Yes, that's the ticket.
