New Orleans rebuild

How about this idea.
Building code.
All inhabited structures build on "stilts"
All homes have to have "first floor" at least one full story above "ground"
Build on pillars.
Much like building code on Sanible and elsewhere on barrier islands.
Not for storm surge, but flood... if you are going to build under sea level.
