And so rebuild the port as only a port, keep the French Quarter for the tourists and let the rest go back to swamp.

I understand the sadness that many in NO must feel, but in truth, NO will never be the same no matter how much money is thrown at it, just like Berlin, Dresden and many other cities that were destroyed for whatever reason, it's changed forever.

ok right there is what I am talking about. Most people think the French quarter. What about uptown? Uptown did amazing well. Then also again because everyone assumes NOla is everything what about st bernard, what about palcqumines parish what terrebone, what about the cities north of the lake?

No, New Orleans won't ever be the same again. And you can't put your hand in the same river twice.

What's your point about Berlin and Dresden? Those cities WERE rebuilt.

New Orleans is not just the French Quarter, and the French Quarter is not just for tourists.

It seems that the people most against helping New Orleans are those who know the least about it.
