Should New Orleans be Rebuilt?

Nearly a week ago, I made some comments about the levee system in (around) New Orleans. Today, I read this piece that talks about the same issue, but takes it one step further. Notably, they wonder if New Orleans should be rebuilt at all.

I don’t pretend to know the answer to that question. And keep in mind that I’m not saying that the people of New Orleans should be abandoned. Merely that perahps it’s not in the best of locations. I also think the idea to turn it into an “American Venice” is an interesting one, that perhaps should be pursued. At least at that point, you expect water everywhere.

    I don’t think it matter whether or not it SHOULD be rebuilt. I think the idea that it WILL be rebuilt is a foregone conclusion.
