"given New Orleans' precarious perch, some academics wonder if it should be rebuilt at all."

This is a good question. Would it be cheaper to rebuild elsewhere?

RockinRight sez:

Well, one could make an argument that they should preserve the French Quarter and then rebuild a few miles upstream. But it sounds impossible. Build a city of 500,000 all at once??

I was thinking along the same lines.The city may have to rebuilt elsewhere. Maybe save the old city for historical and tourism purposes and build anew on higher ground.
