[Rhodes22-list] Why Rebuild New Orleans?

[R22RumRunner at aol.com]

The state of Wisconsin has had some experience with moving towns that were  
located in flood prone zones. The southwestern part of the state is very hilly  
and is prone to flash floods, some of epic proportions. After rebuilding 
several  cities time after time, they finally figured out that the three cities 
couldn't  stay were they were. It took a lot of time and persuasion, but the 
cities  relocated and are thriving today due to both state and federal aid. The 
point is  that they are no longer flooding. Cities can be moved and people's 
attitude's  changed. How many more people need die simply to keep a city where it
 shouldn't  be.
Perhaps we should look to correct a problem that was created a long time  ago 
by.......of course, the French. My vote goes with relocating the city.
 
Rummy said that.
