111 Report post Posted September 2, 2005 I heard they were thinking of rebuilding New Orleans North because the city is sinking at 1-3" a year also it will be safer away from the coast. It's basically like a third world country over there. There's no jail to put people in so everybody is looting. Police are chasing the looters with guns and threating to shoot them. People like the picture above have to protect there belongings so a rifle will do. People starving and dieing on the streets and it's driving everybody crazy. Everybodys feeling the effects with high gas prices but I think about the New Orleans people and what they are going through and paying more money for gas does suck but at least I'm not faced with trying to survive everyday. Help is on the way so hopefully the military can get people under control and begin to take the city in the right direction quickly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
az4life Report post Posted September 3, 2005 Seems like they should rebuild far north. The area is a river delta. With all the flood control they have added over the past 150 yrs, the delta cannot rebuild itself, so the land sinks into the ocean. About the rate of 1 football field, every 3 hours. Something like 26 sq miles in a year. Rebuilding where it is, as it is would be STUPID. We cannot hold out the ocean forever, Hurricanes will come in the future, and I am sure "W" will be blamed for those too! I heard Mexico presidente Fox has offered to send help to the area. 2 million Mexicans to help rebuild. ver suited to this task as they do a lot of construction work. These 2 million people will also stay around after the building to do landscape and hospitality work. Heading off to my bunker for a while....
