Rebuilding the Gulf Coast

[Bluffoon]

and especially New Orleans makes no sense to me. At least not with tax dollars. I was reading today about estimates of the cost of rebuilding the levees and pumping systems and so on. For gods sake the city is under sea level in prime hurricane alley.

Ok so a few hundred years ago somebody made a poor civic planning decision. Now we know better. Let's rectify it. Downsize the city and let the low lying areas go back to the swamps they should be. Relocate essential industry and commerce somewhere safer.

For 150 billion or so you should be able to build a pretty nice city on some high ground nearby.

Maybe I am crazy.
