Cool ok thank you for your reason. YOur the second person thats has mentioned some referring to a retaiing wall today. I think this refers to the barrier Islands, Again I dont know who was explaing this concept but it would not be some continuous wall running across the Coast. One thing I would say as to the Ninth ward. Nagin is to say the least an confusing guy. Its not all clear to me at this point that this is the plan. In fact there was a general uproar because after the Hurricane he was meeting and still meeting with people in the power group he has formed that seem to have the opposite idea. Nagin was elected largely with the help of White Voters. OF course he has made the republican lakeview area so mad he might try to change tactics. I give a list in the next post
As to whats needed. First we got to figure out if certain Corp of Enginneer projects were part of the problem. I am esp thinking of whats called Mr Go in St BErnard Parish. This is controversal but there is evidence that it operated as a major funnel that brought the waters into St BErnard and Orleans Parish. Two true Coastal erosion reclaimation projects Coast wide. THree- IMprovement of the levee system, and 4 the Biggie. and potentially the most expensive and the most chaotic for Louisiana. Serious thought must be taken as to the course of this river. We all know that the river wants to follow a course similar to the atchaflya river. In fact we are prob one smart terroist attack on one area of the river of that happening. The key is to retain enough water in the now channel of the River for navigation and more importantly to prevent Salt water Infusion into the Parishes. However I am willing to think about the unthinkable and allowing the river to change course which would have the benifit of building up areas of the Coast. Of course whole towns and cities would have to be moved
