I live in Barcelona, Spain and in Citrus County, Florida. Compare these two place's crime and corruption (by population) to New Orleans. Why would I endorse the rebulding of a place that could not keep its shit in order? It is a vote of approval for the way it was run previously.
I would not stay in a place that falls to shit, it is called voting with your feet, which I have done many times in my life. I was born and raised in Boston, it turned to shit, so I left. If it was vaporized tomorrow, I would not be screaming for it to be rebuilt.
Sometimes, the harsh reality is, not everything should be fixed or rebuilt if it is destroyed. Insurance companies realize this and they will write things off. Should a love of one's home and perceived value, outweigh the real value?
This same exact thread was started by me, the day after the hurricane. I have reviewed the situation over and over. The city should be deemed a 'total loss', the people should be paid off, and it should be leveled.
There was an example of this during a previous natural disaster, the govt and insurance companies came in paid off all the land owners, and said "Do not build here again". The name of the place slips my mind, but it has happened in the past.
