New Orleans will not be back. It's over.

I agree.

But even if they rebuild, I think tourism is gone.

How will NO survive? {shrug}

Why should they rebuild?

It's not as if there was minor damage--places that could be repaired.

The place is gone and I see no logic in rebuilding on a disaster site.

Build a tourist mecca like the French Quarter a little further back, maybe, but a town?

Why? Build a new Nawleens further inland and hope it turns out better than the old one.

Why spend huge funds on a levee when the town is gone?

I know there's a sentimental thing going, but sometimes one just has to be sensible.

Wanna bet!

The French Quarter is alive and well and already had a Decadence Day Parade.

Nah. We Americans are sentimental fools. New Orleans will be rebuilt on our dime. Tourism will recover. People will secretly thrill to going to a place percieved as so dangerous. I am my family won't be going, however.
