Reply #28: Not a good place for a large city [View All]

[Catbird]

New Orleans is not a safe place to locate a large city. There will be more hurricanes. It was only a matter of time before a big one hit. The next big one might not be for 100 years, but it might be next month. I don't know enough about construction to know if you can construct buildings that will hold up against this kind of hit and still be usable. The Mississippi River might still change its course, which it has done in the past. Rebuilding in the same place might not even be an option.
