That is a massive undertaking...Not only does the problem of the levees need to be addressed, but also would the idea of raising the entire area and incorporating some sort of underground, almost "support" system.
But due to the levee failures, do you think that if people rebuild, they will ever get insurance? And do you think that probable investors may shy away from this potential risk?

The city is a port city.. This means that supplies , gas , coal and what not are carried by ship to to places like St Louis. it MUST be rebuild just on that fact. All port towns face this risk not to mention the port town at the mouth of the third largest drainage system in the World , NO
They hadn't been hit with a serious hurricane in 100 years and now all of a sudden there's all this talk... Should the town be rebuilt. Yes and so should everyones homes.

Children Of Hurricane Refugees May Enroll In Texas Schools
Gov. Rick Perry announced Wednesday that Texas school districts will enroll children of Hurricane Katrina refugees sheltered within each district.
Perry made the announcement during a ceremonial signing of an eminent-domain bill passed during the recent Legislature.
Perry and Louisiana Gov. Kathleen Blanco agreed Wednesday to a plan that would move at least 25,000 Hurricane Katrina refugees from New Orleans to Houston.
Most of the refugees are sweltering in the Louisiana Superdome in New Orleans.
The plan calls for them to be moved to Houston's Astrodome, where they would be sheltered temporarily until better accommodations can be found.
.“In the face of such tragic circumstances, we all have to pull together so these families have as much normalcy as possible during these difficult times,” Perry said.
Perry said the Texas Education Agency has been directed to provide all needed support for districts having to absorb the additional children from Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama.
He said Texas wants to do all it can to comfort children who have "almost overnight been uprooted from their daily routines."
The TEA said the refugee children can qualify as "homeless" and may enroll without proof of residence.
“I want stranded families to know the doors of Texas’ public schools are immediately open to your school-aged children,” Perry said.
“I also want school leaders to know that we realize this will put a strain on their capacity, so I have asked the Texas Education Agency to work them to make sure they have the textbooks they need, funding for transportation and the free-and-reduced lunch program and class size waivers as needed.”
