I guess it didn't help having Gov. Blanko chiding us for ignoring their levees all these years?

Not at all, because the ignoring was done by officials in LA, not the Federal Government. Besides, the ACE levees are not the right thing for these situations, has been proven time and again... Historically, California has proven that point, just read Cadillac Desert. They may be cheap, but they are not impenetrable.
