"Move the whole shebang to higher ground, and call it New and Improved Orleans."
Actually, historical cities kept rising (by building higher and higher on their own accumulated garbage - that's why there are levels, or cultural horizons, like "Troy V", "Troy VI" etc.). To get to the street level of ancient Rome one needs digging, and rather deep. By following this archaeological precedent New Orleans will rapidly become a city on a hill, maybe even a shining city...
