It would be better to buy every New Orleans family a brand new house in the state of their choice and bulldoze what's left of the city. You would save money now and in the future too.
Well, not exactly... if you figure 1,000,000 people,
and $200,000 for each house, that comes to $200 billion....
A little more than $3 billion for the levees. Still lower than the great plan by their governor...
