nola is not dead there are engineering solutions to the problem this can be reversed. I am sorry if many dont want to spend the money for it but we will fight for it. Because in 10 years we will be hearing the same thing about other towns when it could have been prevented
You're right. We can bulldoze it in, fill the bowl with dirt from somewhere and rebuild anew on top of it. That should last until it sinks or until the sediments beneath it wash out from under the new fill.
The question is, Wouldn't it be much cheaper and much smarter to just build somehwere more sensible? I think it would be. Sinking any more funds into the future swamp called NO is just poor use of resources.
(of course if the residents want to spend their own money that's fine. Just keep your hands out of my pocket when you rebuild.)
The real issue that needs to be dealt with is the impending, and inevitable course change of the Mississippi that will bypass NO entirely anyway (cuts something like 150 miles off the rivers journey to the sea.) Now that is an issue that needs to be addressed
