Those damm levees and the C of E is responsible for all kinds of death and destruction. Leave the damm river alone.
Our entire approach to flood control in this country is wrong.
It would be better to leave the river alone, and build the houses on landfills above the flood level.
Levees destroy the land (no soil replacement), cause periodic flooding when they fail, and damage the Gulf (because the soil that would have been deposited on the farms winds up in the Gulf, instead).
