You are the one who said the land could be sold for redevelopment, dude. Land that had flooded from Katrina.
It's called "dirt". dirtboy. They are able to haul it in big trucks and then spread it over the low spots. Kinda neat.
Again, your ignorance is on parade. But I'll be happy to enlighten you.
First, the city did not flood due to Katrina. It flooded due to the Army Corps of Engineers' negligence in designing and constructing our levees. Katrina was a category three hurricane. Our levees are designed to withstand a direct hit from a category three hurricane. There was no flooding on Monday night in New Orleans after the storm passed other than in some low lying areas that always flood. The flooding began on Tuesday afternoon when the Industrial Canal levee was breached, it was complicated when the 17th St. Canal levee was breached.
Much of the water flooded into areas that never flood. This includes Gentilly, Mid City and Bywater. All these areas had a high property values before the storm. Further flood insurance was not required.
Hence, if the levees are rebuilt correctly, this would be an attractive area for redevelopmet.
There are areas of the city that are low lyin such as Treme and New Orleans East and sections of Lakeview that should not be rebuilt.
Nonetheless, this is the situation we are in. How do you propose to solve the problem?
