Why not just abandon New Orleans? Just keep it as a historical theme park for tourists in the French Quarter and other areas of cultural significance, but allow no one should be allowed to live in any of the areas directly affected by hurricanes. Yes, I know all of Louisiana is ultimately affected by hurricanes, as I have friends who live in Baton Rogue, but New Orleans gets the brunt of it for obvious reasons. Loss of lives, property, homes, devastation, flooding, etc. not to mention billions of dollars in relief funds can be avoided by some clear, innovative thinking.
