Why do they let people keep rebuilding New Orleans when storms keep distroying it?

why would you build a city in the middle of a swamp in the first place?

Maybe because its people’s homes and it has a very rich history. The city is 10 years away from being 300 years old. The fact is New Orleans has always been below sea level yet its still there after nearly 3 centuries. Fact is natural disasters occur everywhere. Perhaps cities and towns should not be built in path of Tornado alley. Or on the Islands who get plummeted several times a year from hurricanes/tropical storms.

The City has not been destroyed they lucked out. Citizens should be able to return to their homes by Wed or Thursday.

Political Correctness trumps Common Sense.

Well i suppose its cheaper than building a whole new city somewhere else!Although i think you mean destroy.

That's why they have built flood barriers although nobody could of for seen the change in climate.

ive heard today that a duch architect said it will take 30 tyears to make the city safe

Are you retarded? These kind of questions are ignorant and are getting really old. I guess you also would agree with another poster who said that people who live on the Gulf Coast shouldn't be allowed to have pets.

Because it is there community, there home.

Is that enough reason?
