I will not go into marshland rebuilding, but the city has been sinking because of way more important things such as the erosion of marshlands in South Lousiana. Where i grew up. Literally.
And since you dont even know new orleans wasnt built originally below sea level, i doubt you have a clue about marshlands and the importance of them to that region.

My mom has been preaching wetland rebuilding to me since I was a child. Educate yourself on it, it has a lot to do with the situation. |
I watched a discovery channel special about NO and Katrina. It mentioned this exact thing about the marshlands and how in the past they would take the brunt of a Hurricane. Now that so much wetlands have been eroded/destroyed Katrina was able to make it's way all the way into NO.
Looks like the tree huggers and environmentalist aren't so bad after all.
