If NO & LA want to pay for the rebuilding, they can go ahead and do that.

But if they want my tax money to help pay for it, I want a significant say in it. We should have a national dialog if they want "federal money" (IRS-taxpayer money).

It's only fair.

I certainly agree with you.

No one should have to pay for a city to rebuild on ground that is BELOW SEA LEVEL, sitting in a virtual BOWL, sided by a huge lake and the Mississippi River on the other side.

NO ONE.

NO can be moved, inland, and the bowl turned into either a bay, port, park or wetlands. Period.

It is offensive to many to have to think of the extra millions if not billions of dollars it will take to build a levee system.

I would rather pay for homes and businesses to be built on land that sits above sea level.

The city can be made more beautiful than ever.
