Let's all be honest. NO is one of the filthiest, crime ridden, racially stressed cities in the US. 90% of the city pre-Katrina was a slum and smelled like a sewer. Why would you rebuild the city? Just so another hurricane can come? Relocate the city to higher ground is the only viable alternative. The whole city is a SEWER. I have been there 4 times and I will never go back. Did I mention it is also the most CORRUPT city in the US too?
