    Yes to protect from a cat 5 hurricane.

    Why is it setting up for another disaster? New Orleans hasn't had a hurricane hit it in a long time. Katrina didn't even hit it straight on and if the levees had been what they needed to be, we wouldn't even be talking about this.

    Where exactly would you have the people go in the places you don't want to rebuild in? I'm sure you would love to have someone tell you not to rebuild where you and your family has lived for generations.

    first of all, I wouldnt live below sea level. second of all I dont want these areas to not be rebuilt. I just think its foolish. over time the sea will win.

    If you were born there you'd live below sea level, you arrogant prick.

    why you getting so defensive. I was merely making a suggestion and looking for opinions. im sorry for being smarter then you. like I said, mother nature will win.

    What makes you think you are smarter than me?

    Hmmmm, why would I get defensive when you make glib comments about a place and many people that I love? Judging from your myspace page you have a strong affection for Chicago. How would you react if someone suggested you just move somewhere else?

    I also love how you say you are smarter than me but make many capitalization/punctuation mistakes and actually write "im sorry for being smarter then you." It really proves your point.

    i'm talking about places that are and have been wiped out. I'm not the first to suggest this. I remember seeing something on tv showing certain sections of the city that would be better used as a natural barrier to help protect the city. relax dude.

    From what I understand they are planning on moving some property in-land to allow for a natural shield.
