Well the French Quarter is above sea level too, as for the rest of NO, let it go the way of St. Josephs, FL, one time territorial capitol of Florida, hit by a hurricane 160 years ago.

you can read that N.O. is sinking 3 feet per century and that, on average, the entire city is 8 feet below sea level right now. There's not much reason to save the 'Stench Quarter' since all its' 'amusements' are movable and do not depend upon location to exist.

The insane academics in the vicinity want to spend 14 Billion to save the Louisiana coast when just letting the 'sippi flood would do it. Go figure.
