    Should we Pay to Rebuild New Orleans Again?

    While I hope that Gustav, goes to Texas, as far away from Florida as possible. If it did hit New Orleans again. Should we, the American Tax Payer, pay again to have this city which is under see level, to be rebuilt again?

    I say No!

      Great Idea!

      Let the place rot to the point where the Russian's have to bring in aid and give people
      guns to get fucking revenge on the assholes who thought they were not americans or
      even human.

      Stay the fuck out of politics.

              Gustav is not a concern of yours. Make threads about Hannah. She's going to hit you dead on.

                  Fuck no. It shouldn't have been rebuilt last time. New Orleans is a costal city that is below sea level. Yeah...I see no problems with that. Nothing bad could possibly happen there.

                      now that all the poor people were forced to relocate or were given poisonous trailers to live in..

                      i say yes, lets rebuild NO again and make it even nicer for the rich...

                      of course the poor can still come into the city, to wash dishes, mow lawns, etc...

                          I agree with you.

                          No more taxpayer money to rebuild underwater cities!!

                              Well considering you don't know the difference between "see" and "sea", I don't think your vote should count.

                              Should the taxpayer ever have to pay to rebuild Miami, which is surrounded on 3 sides by water and filled with illegal Cuban immigrants?

                                  We should stop giving federal aid to California too....with all the mudslides, wildfires, and earthquakes.

                                  We should just abandon the place and move all of those people to the desert directly east because it's safer.


                                  New Orleans isn't important either. Things like ports and oil refineries and oil rigs aren't important to our national economy. We should just shut the whole place down and let gas go up to $5/gallon.

                                          Yeah, and no more money to rebuild New York.
                                          It'll just get hit by terrorist again right?

                                          And BTW, all the insurance that people pay for was in place so your tax money
                                          actually went to bail out rich insurance companies so that they could
                                          resale their worthless policies again.

                                              At least Miami is above sea level. There just needs to be new legislation that would allow state and local government to build emergency levies using Cubans. Problem solved.

                                                              New Orleans is pretty much the gateway to the Midwest... anybody ever hear of the Mississippi River?

                                                              Will I feel sympathetic if people stay behind again and get killed? Probably not. Should we rebuild? Absolutely. But this time, let's do it right...

                                                                  What a schmuck.
                                                                  The people in tornado alley don't need an elaborate network of levies and pumps that run constantly to keep the water from reclaiming their city. If a tornado hits, it's a small area. A large city has never been demolished by a tornado in the same way that the post-Katrina flood destroyed New Orleans.

                                                                  Yes, a tornado will clear a path through the middle of a large city or completely destroy a small one (Greensburg, KS). It's not like people have to constantly fight off tornadoes. They happen. There's nothing we can do about it. Turn off the pumps and remove the levies and see what happens to New Orleans. This isn't rocket science.

They've wasted so many billions over the decades building a system designed for a category 3 storm....it's ridiculous.

                                                                                              Have they even improved the building codes? Can you still build a wooden frame home?


                                                                                              After Katrina, teams of planners recommended that broad swaths of vulnerable neighborhoods be abandoned. Yet all areas of the city have at least some residents beginning to rebuild. With billions of dollars in federal relief for homeowners trickling in, more people are expected to follow.

                                                                                              Moreover, while new federal guidelines call for raising houses to reduce the damage of future floods, most returning homeowners do not have to comply or are finding ways around the costly requirement, according to city officials.

                                                                                              "It's terrifying: We're doing the same things we have in the past but expecting different results," said Robert G. Bea, a professor of civil engineering at the University of California at Berkeley and a former New Orleans resident who served as a member of the National Science Foundation panel that studied the city's levees.

The levies that were built by the federal government, NOT BY THE STATE OR CITY GOVERNMENT HERE.
                                                                                                                          Unless the construction laws dictate that houses have to be built out of 100% waterproof material, it's not going to help.

                                                                                                                          I grew up in Florida, I remember hurricane David for crying out loud, so don't tell me how great things are there and shit....if I dig through the archives of the Miami Herald and the Orlando Sentinel I'm sure I can find billions and billions of dollars of wasted taxpayer money. You can find it anywhere.

                                                                                                                          I now live 60 miles north of New Orleans, and you're in here asking whether or not we should abandon an entire U.S. city because you don't like the way the federal dollars were spent on rebuilding. (FWIW, most of that money that you "think" was spent here hasn't been spent....the "rebuilding" has been painfully slow and most of the federal dollars are still just sitting there, so even if the whole city gets obliterated this time around, very little of your tax money went towards anything that will get obliterated)


                                                                                                                          The next time there's a hurricane in your area, and FEMA is bringing in bottled water and ice and medical supplies to your neighborhood, should I complain about the money being spent there because you're the one who decided to live so close to the ocean so you should have to fend for yourself?

                                                                                                                          Gimme a fucking break man.

They'll be damn lucky if they can even find another crew to attempt to help them this time.

I'm sure I could find plenty of fucked up things in Miami (and most other major cities) that are a waste of taxpayer money too.

                                                                                                                                                                                              There's a reason someone coined the phrase "don't throw out the baby with the bath water"....it's because people like you were throwing babies away.

But there are people who choose to live in safer areas that would prefer not to rebuild a city every few years. No one has to abandon it, just let them start footing the bill for it.

                                                                                                                                                                                                      or

                                                                                                                                                                                                      I'll agree with you on this one.
