New Orleans is STILL neglected.

Did you even bother to read my last post? Do your own damned research about the Netherlands and the North Sea. It's not just about hurricanes. Or maybe you think it's all in their imagination and they built the surge barriers because they had nothing better to do with their money.
 
Close friends have lived in NO for arounf 17 years. It is not the same city and wont be that way for ten more years. They have had neighbors mugged twice in the same day. The guy next door was shot in the head right aound 7 am as he headed to work. For folks trying to rebuild, one lady who waited on us at at Muriels said she got her insurance money and had to pay her mortgage back. She then got a FEMA loan and started to rebuild. Right about the point she got all the switches and wiring in and they were gonna start the sheetrock; well then theives stole all the wiring and switches. So she started over and now stands watch on her house although it is not habitable. Stories like that break my heart. They are legion. Good people that are more than willing to spend or give money to keep that city alive fear for their lives.

I used to visit every 6 to 8 weeks. I have been there twice since August 2005. I would love to spend every dime I had in NO to help but my life is worth more to me than their recovery. I am headed down this weekend but it is not as much fun anymore. That city used to have a heartbeat.

I have done my own research and been to see them myself. They built them for a constant entity not an unknown. It is an unlikely comparison that makes an attempt to prove that their engineers and ingenuity is better than the USA. I feel that is misguided.

We live in a country that is ruled by the people. The people have stopped paying for the rebuild. The people re-elected a leader who lead them to ruin in the first place. It seems the people have spoken.

I don't recall ever saying anything about one country being smarter than the other. I was merely addressing the posters that were implying that it is pointless rebuilding in a place like NO. I don't care if it takes smarter engineers or a stronger will of the people. I'm just saying it could be possible as demonstrated by Netherlands. How we get there is up to us. It's irrelevant if the threat is constant or an unknown. Either way, it's still a threat.
 
Okay it is not a were are worse than them thread. Sure.

Fact is the will does not exist. You want it rebuilt? Move. They have places for sale. Try the Warehouse district so you dont get shot right away.
 
An not rebuilding is certainly going to fix the current crime problems too, right?
 
I loved the city but unless the people who live their decide to stop bloodsucking their neighbors or maybe if they get a Mayor with the ability and desire to fix things.....well the rest of us could build the nicest place ever. And it still wont be New Orleans prior to 2005.
