This Fox guy Hemmer is all aggitated about water flowing back into the ninth ward. Give him back to CNN. Time to write off the ninth ward.

Yeah, what's up with Hemmer? Is he running for the DRAMA QUEEN trophy!
Yes. They really need to review the policy of building below sea level. It is just asking for trouble. I grew up in NO and our house was 5 feet above sea level on the west bank. There are areas where people can live that are not below sea level.
I wonder how much cheaper it would be to just buy those houses in the 9th ward & other low areas and make them some sort of federal park/flood zone/fishing area. It just seems dumb and too expensive to fight Mother Nature for that patch of land. It's not good real estate, the houses are not expensive, yet we are going to spend a fortune to protect them. It's insanity.
When Bush said "we'll re-build, but we'll build higher" I don't think this is what he meant, but I can at least dream.
