Re: Would you move back?

My thought is more that the city has always been, and will always be, 20+ feet below sea level and very susceptible to natural catastrophe. I don't think many who lived there really understood the physical vulnerability of the landscape.

I think a lot of people did know the danger - there are songs about it for crying out loud. Some just acted a little like 18 yer old boys and thought they were invincible.
Yes, I think I'd move back. I think it will be safer after the reconstruction and I think the city has so much to offer. Of course that would depend on how settled I was elsewhere...
You know, I live in Vegas. Every summer we have flash floods and usually someone dies. We're getting nuclear waste dumped in our backyard. If we had just a couple weeks without power during the summer thousands of people would die from heat exhaustion. But I'm not going to move any time soon. Right now, this is where my heart is.
