Was the city of New Orleans ever worth all the bother?

Question

Was the city of New Orleans ever worth all the bother?

Answer 1

It is not the gov'ts responsibility to move everyone around when a storm comes.  People need to take responsibility for their own lives.  If this storm had blown the city away then they should put up a memorial and not waste anymore tax payer dollars on it.

Answer 2

Having lived there 3 years I can tell you not really. A city near the coast that on average is 8 and a half feet below sea level gets what it deserves when a hurricane rolls in. When I was there a thunderstorm flooded the city by raining 18 inches in an hour and a half, it took 2 days to pump all the water out.

Answer 3

Only to a liberal

One more thing to whine about

Otherwise this disfunctional city should have been closed down permanently

Answer 4

Yes, unless you do not care about your fellow Americans that are "Living In The USA".
