Well, if we shouldnt rebuiold new orleans we should not have rebuilt the trade towers from 9/11
some of you are as stupid as they come, and prove it more when you run your mouth about not rebuilding one of Americas greatest cities.
many places in america are unsafe to live.
Including, claifornia, florida, new york, oregon, need i go on? We dont simply stop building homes in areas because its unsafe, thats not the american way.
so either support the efforts or accept the fact your opinion basically alienates you from the rest of us history loving Americans who say" rebuild.

Your points are 100% valid, but neither NYC or NO should be rebuilt with tax dollars. If the people of these cities want to rebuild, it should be with their own money, and it should be their own decision.
I am not in favor of using any public funds to rebuild the twin towers, and I am not in favor of using public funds to rebuild a city that, in theory, will be destroyed again.
Pride is one thing, reality is another.
If New Orleans was rebuilt at great expense and nature destroyed it in 5 years... do we keep on fighting nature? Does this not sound as crazy to you, as it does to me?
Additionally, you stated you were from this area, so it does bias your opinion. I have no dog in this race, meaning I am neither for or against the people making a decision with what they want to do with their property.
note: Before those of you jump in and say "Our tax dollars are being wasted elsewhere why not waste them here instead". To accept the wasting of public money (anywhere) is to condone the belief on each side of the aisle in D.C. that we are the servants of government and not the other way around.
