Thread Name: BS: New Orleans Will Drown Again
Subject: RE: BS: New Orleans Will Drown Again
Once the living are all safe and the bodies all collected, it will be time to think about the future size of New Orleans.

It is ridiculous to have a city if over 1/2 million people located on marsh lands at the mouth of one of the largest rivers in the world.

If only half the city can be maintained efficiently, so be it. I don't want the federal government to confiscate trillions of tax dollars to keep "The Big Sleazy" open for business over the next 100 years while the land subsides. We will lose the battle eventually, so lets re-group and move ahead.
