More on Rebuild or not?

Big Cat Chronicles :: New Orleans' sinking problems beg question of whether city should rebuild post-Katrina

Good discussion on how New Orleans is not only below sea level (questionable place to site a major city) but is sinking. Causes both man made and natural.

Eventually, the Mississippi will likely be "caputured" by the Atchafalaya river.
