"Reality Check #1
A direct Category 5 hit is a once in every 200 year event. Do you spend an extra 50 billion or 100 billion making larger levees and pumps for a city that shouldn't be built 25 feet below Sea level? Or should you spend it on moving the poorest to new housing built on higher ground?
Or, for a once in every 200 year event do you spend Millions keeping at least 2000 buses on hand with drivers during Hurricane season so that the 120,000 poorest New Orleans people(60 per bus) without cars can with 24 hours notice be evacuated from the city and driven to where???
Some Tent City in Houston.
Keep in mind the Hurricane could have moved to the west and hit Houston where you just moved the 120,000 people to. Who do you blame then?"
