should galveston/houston be rebuilt??

I love it, a parody thread three years later.

Of course there'll be no question of rebuilding Galveston, since there's white people there.

damn, RNCH, HHC and beachboy, sorry, yall have to leave NO, only blacks allowed says DB....

Why should our tax dollars be used to rebuild florida after hurricanes? Cali after quakes? The midwest after tornados? Those people should know better than to live in an area like that!

Exactly. Every part of the country has its own risks (flooding, tornadoes, earthquakes, hurricanes, brush fires, etc.).

Unfortunately New Orleans will never be the same. I really enjoyed the city.

I have my daughter's Dora Floaties about to make the 2 mile journey to my SUV parked on the main hwy. I had to take my nephew to his homecoming game and wanted to make sure it was ok.

the peeps in LA are blamin. We had a ton of em here in the DFW area the crime rate went through the roof, they were everywhere. And there were a lot of people here that had 12 or more of the 2k debit cards when they were arrested. Not a bad hit, but, they were still steelin...

I just don't get it. love where ya live but make sure it's not a fishin pond.

Oh yes we are all gangsta and stealing here in Louisiana and abusing the Feds!. I don't think so!! The problem with the people that evacuated to Dallas and Houston on the buses are the poor mixed with many felons! Most of us in Louisiana in known for our hospitality and we work hard for everything we have. That's why it's so hard for us to our homes when there is a hurricane in our path. I got my 1 2k card and I was very appreciative of that card but of course the criminals are going to find ways in any state to get free money if they can. It's not like I made money and I had good insurance but it hurt to lose the many thinks like pictures and military stuff that I can't get back because I was out of the state during Katrina. When I bought my house it was shown that it's on high enough ground where I didn't need flood insurance but I went ahead and got it anyways. Then when we bought these homes the Federal Government promised us that these levees were able to withstand these hurricanes and come to findout they breached due to poor building. We didn't need all these levees until the government built the Mr Go for all these ships to transport goods up the MS for all of the US.

Gustov and Ike didn't do to much damage to my house this time but if it did I would build again. This is why I pay such high insurance payments because I was raised here and love everything about this place which if you aren't from here you can't understand! It's not just New Orleans either we had flooding all the way from Daulpin Island, AL to the TX coast. We had major damage in Baton Rouge are capital to Hattiesburg, MS which is a good hour and a half drive north. I spent 3 days battling the water at my Mom's house and will post pics for you to see. They expect some flooding and pay a pretty penny for insurance and build their homes on pilings. Still it's hard because they really had fixed up the downstairs and you lose many things like riding lawnmower, tools, and so many other outdoor things.

Some of you will not even bother to read all this but all I'm asking is to not judge all of us on some idiots and have some compassion. I know I have been to AL and OK to help after tornadoes because I feel thats the American way but sometimes I wonder too when I see the things that go on at distribution places! Well hopefully I'll be leaving to go back to work offshore any day now because I hear we have alot of damage. Peace to all!!!!
