surrender the city to the sea. The sea just took back what was rightfully theirs from the beginning. We were just borrowing the land for a while.

If they don't have the levies, can they even have a city there? [/ QUOTE ]Its a tough balancing act. I know that there have been a lot of studies and work done to try and solve the problem. I think that when the city was smaller, it wasn't so much a problem, but as it grew, and with the near annual flooding, the levies were built. I have no clue when this happened. The citizens got use to having them there though, and it took a long time for the effects of the levies on the delta to materialize. Experts had been warning though about stuff like this for a while. There was even a recent(perhaps 6-8 months ago) article in National Geographic about this very thing. I personally don't think this problem can be solved by simply building bigger levies. This is a tough call, but really, that city should not be there.

Re: What will N.O. be like 6 months ?
Just out of curiousity (I know the circumstances are different), how long did it take to rebuild Dresden, Atlanta and Hiroshima? I know that a lot of old stuff can't be rebuilt, but how long until they became cities again? Also, how bad was London after the blitz?
