gopj we are not talking about living off the Federal Dime forever here. LEts look at the engineering solutions before we eliminate insurance programs for coastal residents. I swear this is not 19th century Russian where all us folks on the Coast are Serfs that produce the resources for the rest of the folks. I suppose we can all abandon the coast and the industries. I guess we could bus in tons of illegal immigrants to work in the oil industry. Their families are in Mexico so there will be no needs for communities churches etc. Of course all the benifit of those salaries go to Mexico so thats a downside. As to the fishing Industry perhaps we can get the Japanese to come in in 6 month trips and fish our waters. Again alleviating the need for things called communties. The port and the Mississippi River well If yall figure out a way to move that to houston let me know.

Look, what's wrong with my suggestion that certain areas of the city be rebuilt on stilts? We have that requirement in some areas of Florida -- new construction has to be above a certain sea level. What's the problem with that?

Rebuilding's fine if there's some thought put into it.

What does better building codes have to do with immigrants in the oil industry or Mexican fishermen? Did I hit a nerve? If so, many apologies...
