LMAO. That's great.

In all honesty, tho, the contractors on this board will tell you, every structure in NO that was under water for more than 10 hrs is completely useless now... even if it's upper level managed to escape the water, the main floor and especially foundation will be compromised. The only benefit to keeping NO's location where it is is the fact that there is exisiting infastructure such as power lines, phone, plumbing, etc... to build a new city of that size from scratch would cost a LOT... granted getting NO back up to standard will be nearly impossible in itself, but still would likely prove more cost effective than trying to build anew
